This book sounds like an interesting piece of science fiction. I've always been fascinated by the possibility of robots becoming human-like, and I'm curious about what sorts of explorations into ethics occur based on Hiro's refusal to help the filmmaker take the appearance of his online avatar. I'll have to remember to check this one out. Thanks for the helpful review.

I enjoy science fiction, especially if it's a great story...not just world building. This sounds like it fits the bill. Too bad about the mechanical errors, but still sounds worthy of a read despite the errors. Thanks for the insightful review!

This sounds very colorful, with creations like the nanobots and human-animal hybrids. Thanks for an interesting review.

Sci-fi with some spicy suspense. Amazing.

The title would imply the book is clever but I could do without the female infanticide reference. Thanks for the review.

Lovely review. Judging from the title, I expected this book to be about preachings only for me to read your review and realise it is about a robot. Hehehe. This is a definite must read

Thanks for the detailed review. This futuristic sci-fi story is an interesting read. I am excited to know what will happen to the love intrigue between Bud and Grace and if Bud will be fixed.

A fast moving sci-fi novel with a medical background, I can't resist. I am curious though why an A.I. as advanced and Nelson Mandela appears to be would be susceptible to a Virus!!

Good review. This book seemed interesting though the presence of grammar errors is too bad. But as it cover love between human and an Android, it's worth a shot.

It sounds like an intriguingly different sci-fi story. I really enjoyed the sample. Androids developing the capacity for human emotion is a concept sci-fi writers have been exploring since Asimov.
