Solidly written hard scifi about the impending robocalypse. Some new ideas, some old ideas, all explored in interesting ways. I liked it. I tend to like Tchaikovsky though, so you know, ymmv.

Dragged a bit in the second act.

Fantastic twist on the singularity and the idiocy of not only man, but the tools man makes. Love this story!

LOVED the first third or so, then it went downhill and the ending completely ruined the book for me
