This is sort of an action-adventure western set in the aftermath of a robot apocalypse. The robots do still feel pretty human for the most part though - they describe things in relation to how humans would perceive them ("humans would think this smelled bad") and gender each other based on voice for some reason. There are lots of gunfights if you like that sort of thing but other than that I didn't feel like very much actually happened. At one point the entire plot grinds to a halt so the characters can talk about how much they love America, which was weird. The epilogue somehow manages to negate all of the main character’s development and the big twist doesn't really end up mattering all that much.
