[Human After All was previously released under the titles, Xom-B, Uprising, and Freeman. The author’s preferred title is Human After All.]
Freeman is a genius with an uncommon mixture of memory, intelligence and creativity. He lives in a worldwide utopia, but it was not always so. There was a time known as the Grind—when Freeman’s people lived as slaves to another race referred to simply as “Master.” They were property. But a civil rights movement emerged. Change seemed near, but the Masters refused to bend. Instead, they declared war.
And lost.
Now, the freed world is threatened by a virus, spread through bites, sweeping through the population. Those infected are propelled to violence, driven to disperse the virus. Uniquely suited to respond to this new threat, Freeman searches for a cure, but instead finds the source—the Masters, intent on reclaiming the world. Freeman must fight for his life, for his friends and for the truth, which is far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined.

I read this years ago, and decided to revisit the story by listening to the audiobook. It was even better the second time around! I love this story and love Freeman- so entertaining.
I recently reread this book on vacation. And I was surprised how good it was. I now know why I, shortly thereafter, went on a Jeremy Robinson binge. It was so good!
It's a near future AI takes over book--very timely to play on the fears going around now. But unlike so many books like it, the characters are likable and/or relatable in a way you don't expect. You know something is different about the protagonist and you are pretty sure what, but on some level you also don't want to believe; or do you?
I love books that make me think about my own emotions and how I'd feel in one character or another's shoes--this definitely provokes an emotional reaction. There's also all the action you've come to expect from JR in addition to ZOMBIES! No. It's not fine literature, but is it entertaining? You bet!
I’m a big fan of Jeremy Robinson’s work. The Infinite timeline saga he wrote was a lot of fun to read. I’ve read several other of his one offs too, some good and some just ok. This one falls into the just ok category. Nothing really crazy or new here. It was interesting to mesh robot/A.I takeover with zombies, cool concept. Decent, quick read.
This book is full of plenty of twists and turns. It’s a wild ride with horrific monsters, heartwarming character development, human connection, and insane zombie fights. It’s an engaging tale with thought provoking ideas and philosophy. A joy to read!!
Good story. Good narration. Not sure I understand all of who did what to what 'species'. Surely there must have been an easier way than the Xom-B virus to achieve results?!?
