Imagine a scenario where all human beings have their needs met without the influence of money, luxury, status, or self-worth associated with societal positions. This intriguing premise creates a captivating storyline for What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? by Neal Bialostosky. Recent technological advancements have opened up the possibility of exploring robots capable of replacing human labor. When utilized effectively, AI has the potential to enhance our living standards; however, its misapplication comes with significant consequences. In the midst of this debate, Mayor Teresa Vasquez and Gregory Lind hold divergent viewpoints, sparking tension and political discord in Paradise Town.

Eddie's uncle harbors a grievance against Gregory Lind, although Eddie is unsure of the reason. As the old man narrates a harrowing experience, a tragic event abruptly interrupts him, compromising his message. Eddie has no option but to place his uncle on CE 3000, only to realize that he has a task to accomplish. To fulfill their uncle's wish, Fan Hua opts for 'Dim Mak, the Quivering Palm', while Eddie takes a different approach. Meanwhile, we meet Evelyn, who shares a special bond with Nanette. However, the evolution in technology does not allow this connection to last long. The nostalgic storytelling sessions between the two friends transported me back to my childhood. I invite you to delve into the enchanting narrative of The Owl of Minerva.

The topic of human beings versus robots inevitably evolves into a political discourse. Mayor Teresa advocates for the protection of people's source of livelihood, while the Black Hole aims to provide comfort for them. I deeply respect Teresa's steadfast resolve to uphold her promises, even in the face of danger. A debate ensues between the two political rivals, each striving to devise a compelling strategy to sway the voters. However, it appears that Gregory Lind is not just contending with Teresa; Eddie is determined to frustrate him using the very technology he is advocating for. In a surprising turn of events, Hippleton emerges as a dominant force, placing everyone's lives at stake.

I would like to highlight the primary positive aspect of this book, which is its twisted yet seamless plot. It initially presents diverse, independent stories and characters, gradually intertwining them to form a spellbinding thriller. There is nothing I dislike about this book. Nevertheless, I urge readers to pay keen attention to avoid confusion and boredom.

The editing team did well; I encountered zero errors while reading. I hereby rate this book five out of five stars because of the positive feature I have mentioned above. I dedicate it to lovers of thrillers and fiction novels.
