Generation Ship by Michael Mammay

Mammay does a good job of showing a closed society can function.  Additionally, he shows how fragile a closed society might become under the appropriate or inappropriate influence.  I also found the concept of sentience quite interesting.  The need to define sentiency is staring us in the face.   Daily I get updates from two sources as to where AI might be going and what is it done or introduced today.   I’m not apprehensive about AI’s future, I’m optimistic!

The arrival of a generational ship at its final destination precipitates a crisis of conscience by the crew who are also the colonists.  The open spaces of a planet are daunting to a crew whose boundaries have been determined by the walls of the ship.

The behavior of major players led one to believe they thought their actions were to benefit the entire ship regardless of how diametrically opposed those actions were to other major players.

I enjoyed the book and worked diligently to avoid spoilers.
