Six Wakes is a Science Fiction / Mystery novel. It was the debut of author Mur Lafferty, who should be writing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Maria Arena wakes up in a cloning tank. She is the most junior crew member on the Dormire, a Generation Ship carrying thousands of Human Popsicles and a crew of six clones who will respawn over and over again over the course of the four-hundred-year journey, retaining their memories by virtue of Brain Uploading. The problem is that Maria does not have any new memories past the launch of the ship 25 years ago. Neither do any of the other five crew members, all of whom are also freshly reborn. The presence of a former Maria — stabbed to death but still warm — suggest that things have gone horribly wrong. And, of course, the entire crew, Maria included, are convicted criminals, who took on the job to commute their sentences.What follows is a Locked Room Mystery with a hefty side helping of Cloning Blues, set against a backdrop of a 24th century Earth racked by wars, ecological disaster, and the ethics and ramifications of cloning and brain uploading... And, of course, the hacking thereof.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Six Wakes / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The ship is run by an AI called IAN — "Integrated Adaptive Network". IAN actually has functional control of the mission, as his authority supersedes that of the captain. Despite this, he doesn't do much except be a Deadpan Snarker... Until the Plot Twist, at least. | |

And the Adventure Continues: The story ends when the murder mystery is resolved, which doesn't take the remaining 375 years of the voyage. (As a matter of fact, it only takes 5 days.) | |
