Machinehood

Age old philosophical and religious ideals are challenged against the many shades of gray of the future's spectrum of human-cyborg-android-robot. AI's are on the brink of sentience as humans struggle to remain relevant in the workplace. Fear and greed still drive political maneuvering and special interest group actions, but dramatic advancements in medicine, social media, drones, and personal communications devices have warped the world to the point where violence has minimal consequences and privacy is a thing of the past. This novel is well written and a fun read with lots of action, but a tad bit lacking in ground-breading originality. You may feel like you've read this book or seen the movie before. It's an excellent first novel, and I look forward to reading more S.B. Divya in the future.
