Janice Hopper

A woman on a generation ship who's been modified to be a Servant. She's also been modified by her father to be able to connect to a sentient machine. They have to navigate their highly stratified society to try to effect social change.

I don't love stories about highly stratified societies (i.e., rich vs poor). This one also has tech that's basically indistinguishable from magic in some cases.

Also, many, many people blown out of airlocks as a means of execution.

It was fine.
