Charles is a very high end robot, made to be “the gentleman‘s gentle robot”, kind of a robot butler. He finds that he has murdered his master, but doesn‘t know why. He sends himself to Diagnostics to try to figure out why, and along the way finds that human society has collapsed and robots are somewhat aimlessly roaming what‘s left.

This is kind of a dystopian quest book, rather philosophical, and I really liked it. ⬇️

Soubhiville I admit as other reviewers have said, it could have been shorter. But I liked it more than most reviewers. I‘m giving it 3.75 stars. 8h
vivastory This was my first Tchaikovsky, I loved it 7h

We love Murderbot! 5th book, and a fight with ART!

There had been some turnover among the Newbury Street Irregulars since we'd come west. Some of them had gone west as well... But computers kept getting faster, cheaper, and more interesting, and the Irregulars didn't lack for members....it was so crowded some nights that there was talk of closing off membership and starting a waiting list. The diehards hated this idea, because they had spent their whole lives being picked last for sports teams...

This was really sweet and fun - just wished it was MUCH longer as @RamsFan1963 has already said! The world building was so well done, I‘d love to see more robot centred stories here. Did you know the merch that is sold in the book is actually available on the authors website? Brilliant. www.automaticnoodle.website

94/100 I usually enjoy a good dystopian story, but this was pretty bland and tedious. The characters were hard to keep straight, they were dull and interchangeable. I'm glad it's done and I can move on to something more entertaining. 2/5 ⭐ #Read2025

An ancient Egyptian mummy electrocuted back to life. They spoke to the mummy in Egyptian about all sorts of topics. Explores the idea that not everything was invented by Europeans.
