Ep 741 - Monk & Robot, by Becky Chambers

Usually when robots gain sentience in fiction, they rise up and slay or otherwise subjugate their human creators, but this week's book dares to imagine what might happen if they stood up, looked around, said "thanks but no thanks," and left. It also ponders the meaning of existence, just for good measure. Monk & Robot collects two previously published novels: A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.

Very enjoyable podcast! I especially like the milestone episodes where both read the book - also possibly due to the fact that they lovingly trash these lovable (or not, *cough* 50 shades *cough*) books.
