This was a great book- it reminded me a little like Blade Runner with the setting and mix of human vs.
The author does a great job of mixing several plots and seeing how they relate to each other. I am excited to read the next installment. In my opinion, the best of this novel is its first person narration. I loved the characterisation of Drake and Shelly above all, and the fact that there are a number of women holding power in this book. The setting is also interesting - even though I can't picture the vehicles hoppers not being somewhat ridiculous However, the plot is a bit weak.
I think there are too many secondary characters and the relationships between them are revealed in a quite rushed way in the last pages of the book.
I felt that in the end all these complicated conspiracies mattered little to me, compared to Drake's character evolution. Dylan McNamee. An interesting twist on crime noir: the protagonist, Drake, is a bioroid, which is essentially a mostly-robotic cyborg but with aspects of a human's brain.
The author decided to portray the perspective of a bioroid not too differently from the autistic protagonist in "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime". It was a quick read, and the book is well-written. There's nothing deep here, just an enjoyable immersive yarn. I picked up this trilogy because the setup reminded me somewhat of the inverse of Asimov's robot trilogy. I really enjoyed the book, although it is written in first-person which I normally do not like, but I really liked it here.
The author does a great job of keeping you inside the character and experiencing the world through his perspective. The mystery unfolds well and it also keeps you wondering. There is a lot here about Bioroids artificially intelligent androids that follow the 3 laws , so if you are looking for a novel to learn about and experience them, this is a great place to start.
It's ok. Don't really feel compelled to read more of the trilogy though. Odom's style is very dry and, for want of a better word, efficient. But that may be because the story is told from the viewpoint of an android, and who lacks emotion. He speaks like he's an autist. So what? Autists are boring. Also, the book kind of just ends and so it feels more like a teaser rather than the end of book 1 of a trilogy.
Good world building, but I prefer Shadowrun. WhatsApp Messenger. Talking Tom Cat. Clash of Clans. Subway Surfers. TubeMate 3. Google Play. The Best Black Friday deals. Bill Gates' favorite books of Hawkeye review. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate review. Windows Windows. Most Popular.
