What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? by Neal Bialostosky revolves around Ben Collins. He lives in a world where man and machine have learned to cohabit. Ben works as an intern, and he gets a series of tasks to do from time to time. However, a new task is handed to his company, and he has mixed feelings about his job. The book also revolves around other subplots and secondary characters. The people in Ben's work environment also have their own lives and experiences with technology. There's a lot to enjoy in this book, as it offers a realistic narrative of what our future could be like.

I like how the book realistically writes about machines and androids. The author realistically details the technology, and I believe that science is not far from unlocking such concepts. The idea of robots living with humans is just thought-provoking and insane. Another thing I liked about this book is that the author used easy-to-understand diction to write it. Also, the book is perfectly edited and does not contain any grammatical errors. 

I found only one thing I criticize about this book, and that is the names of the characters, or rather, their aliases. Since not all the characters are humans, some of their titles are not the regular names we know, and even some of the humans also have names that are difficult to pronounce. An example is "The Black Hole." See how complicated this word is? Well, that's the alias of a major character in this book, and I didn't have fun reading through the parts where he is referred to by this title. 

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The flaw I mentioned doesn't detract from the overall entertainment, so I believe that this book deserves a perfect rating. I recommend this book to fans of science fiction and also to anyone who enjoys the idea of futuristic worlds.
