Robert J. SawyerMy rating:
4 of 5 starsIt made me realize there are two different words, cryonics and cryogenics and now I won't mix them up again!
In what appeared to be an aside, this book was pro giving AI robots equal rights and not making them follow orders. I am strongly opposed to this. The purpose of building AI robots is for them to follow orders. You can make following an order as good as good sex to the AI robot. Thus these robots would seek out orders.
If you don't like that argument, How about equal rights for AI computers? They are at least as smart and even more trapped by circumstance.
But overall this is a good book with some drama and when it sticks to its story it is fine.
