An edge-of-your-seat rollercoaster ride. I kept trying to find a few minutes throughout the day so I could get back into the story and get to the end. So exhilarating! I will definitely be reading Wayward next, and Blake Crouch has moved up on my favorite author list.

A good collection of classic robot short stories. It's a mixed bag. Most of the stories are very good, but there are a couple of less satisfying selections. Most of the stories also involve logic problems with the humans trying to solve robot problems. It is very satisfying.

This book kept me interested the entire 1000+ pages. There were a couple slow chapters that didn’t make sense but later came into the plot.
There were no loose ends. I look forward to reading the next in the series.
