This fun and futuristic story is set in a world where humans sometimes perform jobs and robots sometimes do certain things.  However, on this very important day, Charlie has his summons and he can't be late for where he's going.  Charlie is a man who displays signs of OCD in the story.  He hates to be late, and on his way with his summons, traffic is very heavy and he's very afraid of being late, but arrives with minutes to spare. I don't think Charlie knows what the summons is for, though.Charlie reminds me of "Monk" on television. He obsesses over everything. He's a well-drawn-out character and I could feel the excitement and also the tension in Charlie as he started to panic, afraid of being late for where he was going, and being so excited about finally getting his summons. The people around him seem to be detached and no one looks as excited to be in the big auditorium-like room as Charlie is.As much as I really like the story, it is pretty predicable at the end. It's well-written and kept me interested and reading fast throughout. I really liked it and recommend it to other readers.
