Having barely made it out of Orphancorp alive, Mirii is on a mission to find the most important babe in her life, Vu. Vu has been taken to 'Psynode', a secret facility operated by the megacorp Allnode. After wrangling her way into the Allnode warehouse as a picker, Mirii meets Rowe, the daughter of one of Allnode's execs, who may just be the perfect person to help her with the mission. But life at Allnode is far from cushy and Mirii has to battle her way through the dangers of her new job, the corps that she knows are watching her and get to Vu before it's too late. Fast-paced, gritty and original, Psynode follows on from Welcome to Orphancorp, winner of the 2016 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Young Adult fiction and confirms Marlee Jane Ward as one of Australia's best YA authors.… (més)

I enjoyed Welcome to Orphancorp so much and when I discovered this sequel I was super excited and read it in one sitting and I would like the next eleventy books in this series/setting immediately now and thank you.

What I love about it is that the world that's been built, with its own details and quirks of language and everything, is so easy to get absorbed in. It's not like some spec fic worlds where one needs a glossary for unfamiliar words, because they're so easy to pick up from context.

I also love the queerness about it, not only Mirii's quest to find Vu but all the background references and how casually they're dropped in and how it's not a big deal. Tat's singular they pronouns make me happier than I can express. ( )

Psynode (2017) is the follow-up to the award-winning Welcome to Orphancorp, (2015) by Melbourne author Marlee Jane Ward, (reviewed here). That the title of the final of this 'technopunk thriller' trilogy is Prisoncorp (2019) bodes ill for the central character Mirii, who had in Book one, escaped from dehumanising slavery in a brutal system designed to achieve compliant child workers, and now in Book Two is on a quest to rescue her friend Vu. This is a very dark dystopian YA series, with uncanny resonances in the modern world.

Psynode has been calling to me ever since I started gathering together my pile of (nearly all Australian) novellas for Novellas in November hosted by Cathy at 746 Books. (An Island by Karen Jennings sneaked in there because it was longlisted for the Booker and had just arrived from Benn's Books. Some of my books are not very good at waiting their turn.) Psynode was in my novellas pile because it's only 177 pages long. It's quick to read; I romped through it in a couple of hours this morning.

It was written only four years ago, before the explosion of Covid-induced online shopping. As I read Mirii's brutal initiation into work as a warehouse picker for Allnode, I found myself thinking of what I've read about work conditions in Amazon warehouses, and wondering about the experiences of the Woolworths packers who've been bringing me my groceries in Lockdown. Mirii has demanding targets to reach, and what she soon discovers is that while the penalty for failing too many targets is instant dismissal, achieving them only reduces the time she's allowed to achieve them. It's a horrible work environment...

Great. Lacks quite the brutal emotional suckerpunch of the first one (because it's not kids-brutalising-each-other-in-the-system) as we get out into the wider world and look at some other ramifications of capitalism-gone-feral. It's more of an action thriller than a psychological twist, but it's still grounded in Mirii's casual, clever, Aussie-as narration, which remains an absolute delight. ( )
