Emergent Properties, Aimee Ogden, 2023 novella. My brain has not been in reading mode - I have a couple of library books that are going to expire without my having gotten more than a few pages into them (which I think also happened last fall, although it was later in the fall and I was further along in the books - I'm not sure if there's a seasonal thing happening here or if I'm connecting not-that-similar things) - but I did manage to finish this novella. Didn't love it. Like, it's a little bit Greg Egan and a little bit Murderbot, which makes it sound *fantastic*, and "detective story with new iteration (clone/backup/whatever) trying to solve previous iteration's murder" is a classic, but, I dunno, it never quite took off for me, the plot felt muddy and the denouement didn't click.
