World-building is fantastic and to make you feel for a robot nontheless - brilliant. The narrator brought it all to life and made it very enjoyable. I just love Mr Tchaikovsky's ideas.

As expected from Adrian Tchaikovsky the world is exceptionally well thought of and the people living in it are exposed to various hardships. But what the people left behind on earth sounded grim and desolate as well. I felt the oppression through the pages. Fascinating concept and amazing imagery.

Rex, Honey and Bee - what wonderful characters. Rex internal fighting with himself and his indoctrination was very moving and emotional. As a dog-owner very relatable at times.
