Jack R, Reviewer
An enjoyable and thought-provoking book. The title was intriguing but I really did not expect much. I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting the book turned out to be.
But before I go on, I mentioned the title caught my interest so I should mention that. The title is “The First Robot President“ and it’s by Robert Carlyle Taylor.
I believe we are facing both a climate crisis and a population crisis. The book addresses both and by setting the novel about 500 years in the future shows clearly the consequences of our failures to act.
I found the story well done and it was a fairly quick read. It was interesting to watch the changes in attitudes about the robot as well as the robot’s developing intelligence. The novel works on several levels.
Of course some will agree with the political views expressed and others will disagree. But in either case this is worth reading.
