Review: Nice post-apocalyptic with crazy robots, but not stereotyped

I really enjoyed this story.  It's in a post-apocalyptic world where robots are being used to help rebuild society.  But the author does not use all the post-apocalyptic, killer robot stereotypes. The company that designs the robots keeps making them more and more intelligent.  But there are safeguards in place to keep them from harming humans.  What could go wrong?  Turns out, you need a group of humans called wreckers to stop the robots that go crazy and attack humans.One of the nice things about the story is that the protagonist, Gibson, is not a superhero.  In fact, he is about to be evicted for not paying rent after losing his job.  After using a gun to fight a robot, Gibson is interrogated by Officer Mathews about having an illegal handgun.  This is believable.  Especially as the story takes place in Chicago. I also liked how the food for the unemployed taste like sawdust and a frown.  It will keep them alive, but provides encouragement to get a job and contribute to society.I read a lot of cheap/free books on Kindle.  Then buy the series or other books from the author.  I also delete a lot of the cheap/free books without finishing them because they are poorly written.  This book is well written and most everyone will want to finish it.  My main complaint:  At the end it said the the second book of the series would be available in April 2012 and I can't find it.
