Instantly this book caught my eye. It seemed more than just your average sci-fi thriller, instead of only action it felt like the author had attempted to delve deeper, to make it more thought provoking. After buying it my instinct was proven correct. Whilst there is adventure and excitement there is also a look at both the similarities and differences between humans and robots.Each scene is brilliantly described allowing for you to be fully immersed in the futuristic world the characters inhabit. The plot moves along at a confident pace that allows everything to develop fully whist still being quick enough to hold your attention completely.Above all I feel this book offers a glimpse into the future. Technology is becoming more advanced with every passing year meaning that robots are too. It’s not inconceivable to suggest that robots may one day surpass our level of intelligence. That is both an exciting and perhaps terrifying thought and this book gives us a taster of what it may be like to have robots as both equals and quite possibly superiors.Overall I’m impressed. This in depth look at the future and what it could mean for humans is compelling. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would wholeheartedly recommend it.
