This book was full of scary possibilities, of technology that is plausible and beliefs and actions that are recognizable. This book is Robopocalypse on drugs. The author has definitely taken his experience with that book and amped it up a notch.

Even though it was easy, and sad, to see how quickly people turn to hate and discrimination, there was a deeper message the people are inherently good. People rallied together and looked after one another. There seemed to be a message that while there will always be extremists, most people are good.

My favourite character was, without a doubt, Nick. His hyper, nonstop attitude brought a smile to my face every time. Even with everything happening around him, he was still very much a kid. And just any kid, but the type you're glad to know. The one that drives you crazy, but that you love without a thought.

Overall, this was a great read. The possibilities are scary, and people's reactions were both predictable and saddening, but overall, it was a thrilling adventure.
