As much as the phrase "health surveillance" creeped me out in the beginning, I was completely won over by Robot & Crow by the end of the story. I especially like the crows' foul (or should a say fowl) mouthed one-sided interactions with humans, and despite the potential for rampant abuse of the technology, somehow Robot managed to be a goodnatured altruistic little AI that did not accidentally (or intentionally) lead to the extermination of the human species. Hooray!
A fun listen; recommended.
