This was interesting. I haven't read too much of robot/AI tropes but I kind of liked this one. The only thing I got bored with was it seemed like the author was telling the same scene from multiple POVs but almost in the same way. I was like, "ok that's nice but time to move on with the story".

This ambitious book pays homage to Phillip K Dick and some of the best Southern Gothic.

This books could fill in the missing pieces between the bell riots and a robot controlled future.

You may or may like the narrative roshomon style of showing the same scene from 2-3 points of view.

This book was interesting and entertaining and feels like a realistic extrapolation of our current technology.
