A well written adventure in a world overrun by robots. 

My only complaint here would be that the robots themselves, and even the powerful AIs of the book appear to be almost too human.

Lots of robot action and drama and some philosophy.

This would make a perfect Netflix show.

Probably, if honest, a 4.6, so it gets the 5 :)

This was a weird one. I see that some other reviewers started off loving it but then drifted out of it. I was the opposite.

I found the "i'm a robot but for all intents and purposes I am speaking like a person" narrative odd, and didn't quite buy into it at first. Well to be honest I never really did 100%, but i stopped caring. I bought into it enough, and as the story unfolded and the world building got fleshed out it made more sense.

I would say the best feeling I got from this is that it was like playing a really good DLC for Fallout New Vegas, where you are a robot cowboy, with some Mad max stuff thrown in for good measure.
