“His Robot Girlfriend” was thoroughly enjoyable. I found it titillating, but it never decended into the grotesque or vulgar. My wife is a 5th through 7th-grade French and Spanish teacher at a private school here in Fort Worth, Texas, and I laughed out loud at the first few chapters especially, where the classes are described.
I was intrigued at the particular version of near-future reality painted in words, which was nicely subliminal. One picks up that mankind was not able to completely arrest global warming, that certain things like food and clothing are anywhere from 100% to 200% higher, but interestingly, a sophisticated, humanlike robot is a mere $2700. (Forgive any minor inaccuracies. I just got done reading the book over the course of a couple of days). Fascinating!
I, too, was going to sheepishly submit a list of typos, but looks like that isn’t necessary.
Looking forward eagerly to reading your others. msm
Thanks a lot Markos. Glad you enjoyed it.
A quick read, only a hundred or so pages. As the title suggests, it’s about a guy and his girlfriend, who is a robot. It’s not brilliant writing, but it is an enjoyable story and offers a glimpse into the future. It also pokes a bit of fun at the current age. I definitely recommend it.
And while I might have a disagreement with the “not brilliant writing part”, at least he recommends it in the end.
Now get to bed kiddies… Santa is already in the air!
