That is an interesting combination of science fiction and politics right there. I also appreciate the part where the book makes us think about how emotions affect our decisions. Good review!

I don't usually like robot-related books but this one seemed interesting. The mention of humanity in a piece of technology, of seeing humans from a different perspective is intriguing. I think I get what you mean about the negative thing in trying to attack the current president since it kinda diverts on the main topic. Thanks for the review!

Based on the review of the book this is not something that I would enjoy reading. I am not a fan of Android/robot stories. I will pass on reading this book.

Based on your review, this is a thought-provoking read filled with dark humor that will appeal to fans of sci-fi novels! Also, André sounds an interesting character! Glad you enjoyed it, but I am not a fan of this genre. Therefore, I will pass. Thank you for the detailed review!

A sci-fi story that revolves around a robot who becomes self-aware sounds great, though it is not a new idea. The book gets into discussions about emotions extremism and politics.
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

An android that suddenly becomes self-aware usually promises some good discussion about what makes us human, and science fiction has proven to be even more useful in examining humanity, politics, and morality lately than before. I'm intrigued to see how the author might make this beloved concept feel unique again. Thank you for the helpful review.

Sounds like an interesting story. Artificial intelligence growing in its intelligence is amazing a somewhat scary to me. I can see how Andre's experience could be interesting especially with being able to help the government and saving children. I dont think however this story is for me. Congratulations on BOTD.
