Official Review: André's Reboot by Steve Coleman

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I found the sample pages to be extremely fascinating. Hollywood has instilled a fear in me that the rise of the machines will be detrimental to human kind, but it seems this one is only trying to save humans...

While the artificial intelligence is not at the top of my favorite topics, the storyline about the unicity of the human species and what makes us humans is intriguing. At this very moment, I'm in conflict, having difficulty in whether to read it or not. But I will add it to my shelf for the moment when I will come to a conclusion. Thank you for your insightful review!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. I like that through Andre's journey to self awareness we are able to enjoy such a layered story. It sounds like from being just a household droid, Andre went on to live an adventurous life, even meeting the president. What a life...

I have sampled the book and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The comparison between the fictional president and the now president may appeal to some readers,especially during these tough political times.

I don't know if you guys realise that the artificial intelligence combined with human feelings is the future. And yet we have a world full of dramas and wars and pain. When I read this review I am committed to say that sooner or later it will become a part of us. Most important is to remember the human part of us and to be well aware that science is knowing and knowing makes us the most powerful weapon. Beeing the most powerful weapon than we will be a political target, a war target, and maybe also a religious one. Feelings are the only thing that will keep us Alive in the battle with the unknown.

I love science fiction and though self aware AI tech stories have been done before, I like the fact that this was set in present day times unlike the usual 20-40 years in the future time frame typically used for such stories. It also seems like Andre's self awareness led to positive improvements rather than destructive tenedencies as observed in other AI tales. Great review, makes me eager to read this book.

I like the way political satire is discussed in this book through the use of a bot that exemplifies the best of Artificial Intelligence in both military and civilian use. Nice review.

That's nice review, especially when Scerakor say's that this book "will make you think about how emotions affect decisions". I agree that this is real. I rate this book 4/4 though.

The review definitely makes me want to read the book André's Reboot. Seems like a book you can't keep your head out of till it's finished. And well these are my favorite type of book

I am not usually a big fan of sci-fi novels but I am inclined to try this one out. Yhe sample reads well and your review seems to praise it highly. It should be enjoyable.

The first thing I liked about this book was the cover design. It reflected all that this book represents. Andre's heroic feat also contributed to making this book a must-read.

The book sounds intriguing ,though science fiction is not my usual genre. Great review.

It's an amazing novel. Being a physicist I loved how this novel brings in that distinctiveness in what makes us human , the emotions and feelings. Andre's experience on how he had to go beyond robotic ethics and his purpose tells an interesting story. I love the novel

I do like sci-fi and am interested in stuff to do with AI, and the satire parts sound good, but I don’t like reading about political stuff because it bores me, so I’m on the fence regarding whether to read this novel or not. Your review is written well and gives me something to think about, anyhow.
