Fans of Star Trek and 2001: A Space Odyssey will appreciate this novel, which paves the way for a sequel. Through Greta’s conflicts, the author explores what it means to be human and gives readers a glimpse inside the mind of artificial intelligence. Bow has crafted an authentic sci-fi narrative around the AI premise, utilizing an imaginative world and well-developed characters. Peace now hinges on whether or not Greta will agree to become AI herself. Greta feels as if she has been awakened to possibilities-political, personal, and sexual-by both Elian and Xie, but when Elian’s grandmother blasts into their Precepture to use Greta for political ends, everything changes. Violence scenes include torture and death by cider press. Plain Kate is universally praised, and Sorrows Knot, you guys. I think my hesitations come mostly from the great expectations I held for a new book by Erin Bow. I, on the other hand, had a more mixed reaction. Parents need to know that The Scorpion Rules is the first book in the Prisoners of Peace science fiction series, set in a future where the children of government leaders are held as hostages in order to prevent the outbreak of war. The Scorpion Rules is the first book by Erin Bow that Paige has read, and she liked it quite a lot. These Children of Peace, including roommates Greta and Xie, are educated to rule, and they never consider challenging the system until Elian, a new hostage, arrives. Some of the teens slip away at night to have sex. In the future, Talis (once human, now AI) rules the world, and peace is maintained by holding world leaders’ children hostage in Preceptures until their eighteenth birthdays.
