Beatless: Volume 2
Boy meets girl... you know how it goes. But while the boy (Arato) might be a typical 17-year-old, the girl (Lacia) is a beautiful android equipped with an enormous black device that defies human understanding.
Set 100 years from now, BEATLESS depicts a familiar yet futuristic vision of Japan in which society is run by incredibly human-looking robots, known as hIE. Most people regard them as mere convenient tools. Yet some hIE–like Lacia–now appear bearing technology that far surpasses anything regular humans can produce.
Humans and ultra-advanced artificial beings: who is the master and who is the servant? Who made Lacia, and what ties her fate together with Arato? Bewildered by the turmoil of danger and mystery that Lacia brings into his life, Arato will find himself forced to make choices with profound implications not just for himself, but for all of humanity.
The direct continuation from volume 1!

Beatless Volume 2 is a sequel to Beatless Volume 1 and it is highly recommend that you should read Volume 1 before volume 2 as many of the terms , characters, abilities, and more technical terms are not explained as much in volume 2.
Beatless Volume 2 is the novel that ties up loose ends for volume 1. In this volume, the author answers many of the questions proposed in volume 1 about how A.I. should be treated, their impacts on society and the ethics in dealing with an A.I. that is more intelligent than all of mankind combined. And it all comes tied beautifully in the wrap of the progressing romance of a robot girl meets boy story and a great final confrontation arch after the stand-offs from last book, with a perfect ending to finish.
As I do not want to spoil too much, I think it's only right for me to point anyone who hasn't read volume 1 to do read it before starting volume 2, and those that have enjoyed volume 1, to do continue to read volume 2 as it ties of the story of Beatless really well.
