"Robot Proletariat: Season One" is a futuristic sci-fi serial by co-authors Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant. This Kindle e-book was approximately 254 printed pages and sold for $5.99 at the time of writing this review.Please Note: the author(s) provided me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.General theme (minor spoilers)A futuristic tale of domestic bots who rebel against their households' lord and master, Spencer Lexington. Said Lord just happens to be an egotistical and tyrannical noble who treats his house robots like they were, well... er, servants. Imagine!Our heroes are older bots who've develop through time, some rudimentary sentient abilities... just clever enough to know when their getting the old-heave-ho by mi'lord in his desire for some new fangled, upgrade replacements. This then is the tale of Mars, Cromwell and Miri (and others) who decide getting scrapped and being sent to the dreaded 'recycler' is not in their best interest.Some thoughts on "Robot Proletariat: Season One"...1.) well written and edited... few if any grammatical, spelling or syntax errors.2.a) brilliantly and spontaneously funny.... there is a component of sexually related material... much it bordering on the absurd, but with a humorous twist... no not just humorous, but funny... really, really funny.2.b) and yet, there were moments of poignant discussions and events that offered a perfect counter balance to the humor.3.) a clever plot involving much clandestine scheming and deeds of reckless daring-do by our heroes. (Well reckless I guess by robotic standards)4.) favorite character... Miri. A 'female' maid who has a glitch in her program making her a tad unpredictable and seemingly naive. There's a running gag involving her and a sexbot by the name of Sephora that's priceless.5.) a jaw dropping ending that would serve as a terrific lead-in for a sequel.Impression:A compilation work that contains the first six installments in this sci-fi series.It has a great plot, that while occasionally serious is sprinkled with moments of laugh out loud humor.Overall an entertaining and enjoyable read. Loved it!As it is... 5 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
