Artificial Condition

I had a lot of issues with the first book (lack of originality, lame plot, lack of proper scifi-ness) but they were offset by the great humor and excellently done MC, so I still loved it. This time, all these lacks are still here, and all even lamer/more unoriginal, but I also got bored and the humor is in way less quantity. Plus the MC hacking everything every few pages is really unplausible and rather ridiculous. Plus the psychology is replaced with very basic philosophy and that was uninteresting too. Will not read the rest of the series and cannot recommend. Martha Wells may have good humor and excellent EQ, but a scifi writer should definitely also have imagination and stories - one book lacking them I could understand, but a second one is too much for my money (and time).
