Our view

“Rose/House” is a compact science fiction mystery, a novella that sets a murder case among questions of artificial intelligence. Some readers find it slow for its length, its prose tangled and its plot thin, more philosophical exercise than story. Worth trying for readers who enjoy ambiguity and short experiments at the edge of the genre.
