It's a nice blend of technology and fantasy. No doubt the world is moving towards automation and China is experimenting with robot anchors. Even the horrible future they present can be taken as true as the world is moving towards the same destruction in one way or the other. Thanks for this great review.

Whereas technological advancements have their obvious and desired advantages, there are perils if not all possible scenarios and risks are determined and sorted out in the planning stages. I do hope things get sorted out in this book and for our future in real life. Thank you for your candid yet well-written review.

Thanks for the great review!
It's unsettling indeed to see how easy super-human technology can take on humans! It's a good thing Sophia could 'reason!' Thanks so much Vscholz for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.

True, there were too many threads that did not tie up properly. Thanks for taking time to read and giving feedback teacherjh.

This probably sounds hilarious, but it is true. Maybe I will give it a try some day! Thanks for the honest and insightful review, Connie!
Lol, I agree the title was cryptic! I hope you get to read the book too. Thanks for your time and feedback!

Thank you for your honest review!
Thanks Sara! I too hope the author will rectify the issues raised. I appreciate your reading and giving feedback.

Really?! I didn't know China was experimenting with robot anchors. I hope humans won't be extinct in a short while! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, Sarah!
