Boring and predictable.

You would think that after Kiron the Robot went through all that trouble to recreate homo sapiens, the robot would have made a few minor improvements to the design specifications the last Master left him with.

My point is not only is the newly created woman already expected to be subservient to the newly created male, but the male has already been given a name, Adam Two, while the woman is.....just woman.

And the ending needs a twist! Now if I had written the story, the last lines of the story would have been:

"Kiron looked at the two newly created homo sapiens then said, 'I am now the master. And you work for me! Now go get the oil can and lube me.' "

Part of LibriVox Short Science Fiction Collection 002. Predictable and pointless. Post apocalyptic robot surveys the empty world and then concludes his life’s work of recreating a breeding pair of the dumb species that destroyed the world the first time. Hopefully he will prevent them from topping themselves again.

Listened on an audio reading. Interesting premise because it's upside down but part of me doesn't agree with it hahaha. I'm listening to it in the time of a plague and invasion.

I rarely use this word in my reviews, but boring!
Every twist is predictable, this lasted only 12 minutes.

Scifi, short story.
