Space and Time calls We, Robots "a delightful read"
Sam Tomaino reviewed Lange's We, Robots in the Winter 2008 issue of Space and Time, the long-running science fiction magazine currently edited by Hildy Silverman. Tomaino thinks "Lange writes very effectively about feeling and humanity. She also is very good at leavening the drama with humor." Find Space and Time here: http://www.spaceandtimemagazine.com

First paragraph:
I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Mode that is. Comfortable mode. I'm talking about communications systems. Group-speak, science-speek, GeekSpeak, King's English. They're all great protocols if you're into that puffery, but for real efficiency, slang is where it's at. We robots choose to use slang four out of five times. It's faster. So pardon my hipness.

This has nothing to do with Sue Lange or her books, but it is just so fabulous, you need to see it. This happened spontaneously in Union Square in New York City at 1:45am November 5, 2008.
