Nothing but Bones: Undead AI: Part 1
Eons after humanity fled the galaxy, leaving the burnt-out husk of their civilization behind, one of their constructs stirs. GD18, a simple AI, meant only to serve in a public library, awakens to find itself on a barren and lifeless world.
With barely enough energy to power his primary systems, he gives the gift of knowledge to a simple skeleton as a final act of service before shutting down forever.
Or so it seems.
When he unexpectantly powers up once more, he soon finds that his situation has only marginally improved. His sphere, the container that houses his being, has been swallowed by a massive Wyrm. Although he now has access to ample power, he is stuck. Will he spend the rest of eternity like the mythical Jonah, trapped in the belly of the beast?
Or will he find a way to free himself of the Wyrm and of the chains that bind him?

This story is set in the Nothing but Bones universe, but has little to do with the two available novels. It is also much shorter and seems to be the first part of a new series. It's a quick and enjoyable read, the characters are well-rounded and the plot moves along at a rapid clip while remaining interesting and entertaining.
I didn't really know what to make of this one at first, to be honest, but I ended up really liking the main character and couldn't put it down. The world and lore of Nothing but Bones is also fleshed out more and there were some interesting surprises along the way. If you liked the other books, you'll probably enjoy this one. Recommended.

10/10, nice sci-fi simplistic feel
This is a nice book, I like the different approach it has to evolution and stats, it could be longer and feels more like a framework than a detailed book, but that simplicity has its own charm, so overall 10/10, would recommend ( of course this is all my opinion, and in no way am I implying that it should be yours, every person’s thought process will be at least a bit different from mine).
