The novel What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? Written by Neal Bialostosky, it explores the themes of identity and individuality in a world where people are increasingly connected to technology. The story centers around the character of Ben Collins, who struggles to find his place in a world where technology is ubiquitous and constantly changing. He must decide whether to conform to the demands of his company and society or forge his own path. As Ben tries to navigate this dilemma, he meets numerous other characters who help him reflect on his choices. There's Marge, the hard-nosed manager who challenges his ideas about technology; Jason, the skeptical tech support guy who questions the ethics of AI; and Lisa, the idealistic software engineer who wants to use technology for good. Along the way, Ben begins to question what it means to be human in a world where technology is becoming more and more intertwined with daily life.

One positive aspect of the book is its exploration of the ethical and philosophical implications of artificial intelligence. It raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of identity, free will, and the future of humanity. The author does an excellent job of balancing the serious themes with moments of humor and levity, making for a compelling and thought-provoking read. I also appreciated the attention to detail in the world-building and the realistic portrayal of the characters.

One potential criticism of the book is that it can be a bit slow-paced at times, and the plot can meander in places. While the world-building and character development are magnificent, the plot sometimes lacks forward momentum. Additionally, some philosophical and ethical concepts can be a bit dense and challenging to grasp, making it a book that requires some patience and concentration to fully appreciate. That said, I believe the book is ultimately worth the effort, as it offers a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the impact of technology on our lives.

There were no grammatical errors in the book; it was well-written and exceptionally well edited. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I relished every part of it.

The book is a great choice for readers who enjoy science fiction and speculative fiction, as it explores the possibilities of future technology.
