It turns out that existential angst isn't limited to a human post-apocalyptic world--even after they kill off their human creators, the robot victors have lots room for their own personal crises and continued search for meaning. Also, and perhaps not surprisingly, survival and power grabs are still the name of the game, so in a lot of ways, everything has stayed the same even as it has radically changed.

An interesting and fast-paced story about a future that doesn't seem too hard to imagine.

A lot of potential, but it never really clicked for me. Some intriguing futurism, and ethical questions raised, but overall an uncompelling story.

Definitely not my usual fare, AI fighting to control a burnt out post-apocalyptic world, but definitely compelling enough that I would continue this series.
