I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very interesting novella. The author details an environment in the future where androids, robots, and mechanical life is enlisted to do the mundane aspects of daily life. The question then comes up, "What if one of these individuals commits murder"? That is the general gist of the story, but ut's not a dry telling. It is rather humorous with certain bits having the reader chuckling while other bits are having the reader actually "thinking what would happen if that did occur."? Then the author throws you a complete surprise that throws you for a loop.

This was a very interesting novella because it makes the reader think a little about mechanical life. It is both humorous and thought provoking because of the legal ramifications involving this topic. It is not boring, in the less bit, but it asks the question, that if mankind progresses to the point where mechanical life is created and used, what legal requirements would they fall under?
