4.0

I got a bit confused between all the control systems and some of the critical plot points went over my head. But I am still enjoying the robot emotion of it all. I'm a bit disappointed that MB didn't join Dr. Mensah's family like I thought was going to happen.

Love the lighthearted funny tone of this novel, a bit too much long described fights and chases. But the narrative voice of the main character was very fun and interesting to think about what makes humans different from robots.
