It’s a very touching ending and I was really pleased with her result. I totally cried at the end even though I knew it would be a HEA – NR doesn’t let us down. We know “they” are listening – but what can you do that doesn’t involve living off grid in Montana? And the romance. The “Big Brother” aspect of this story is so accurate it’s frightening. Despite the robot nature of Shaun, I loved his existential crisis and that whole “why am I here” thing is something all of us experience and the author was able to really capture this in simple ways that can be felt in us all. It has a fairly timely subject matter – we are probably on the cusp of artificial intelligence and as this story suggests we are in no way ready for it. And I don’t like baseball! But they fit ) ) First, let’s look at this story.
She keeps coming out of left field with these books that are so DIFFERENT from what I’ve seen from her and she keeps hitting home runs! (See all the Spring Baseball references…. This story gripped me right from the start and I couldn’t put it down. I was a bit intrigued but mostly really put off by the robot in the future part of the story. When I saw the blurb I pretty much said to myself – yeah – NO – and wanted to pass it on. Sure that SATinc is aware Shaun functions outside of his programmed parameters, Lloyd must find a way to keep Shaun safe. Shaun is compatible to Lloyd's every need the perfect fit on an intellectual and physical basis.īut Lloyd soon realizes Shaun's not like other A-Class androids. Their latest design is the Synthetic Human Android UNit, otherwise known as SHAUN.
SATinc is the largest manufacturer of androids in Australia, including the Fully Compatible Units known as an A-Class 10. But two years later, after much self-assessment, he thinks he may have been right. When his ex claimed the only thing perfect enough to live up to his standards was an android, Lloyd dismissed it.
Lloyd Salter has OCD issues with noise and mess, and he's uncomfortable with human interaction. Big Brother no longer just watches from the shadows. In 2068, androids are an integrated part of human life.
