Sep 01, 2017 Jill rated it liked it

A man, his Lamborghini, and his beautiful companion crash against the guardrail leading to a spectacular debris field amongst the rocks. What follow is a conspiracy to use technology to spy on people that have robotic companions that are more life-like that the people they are with. It is an interesting look at how technology may pave the way for relationships with machines over people. This is the first book in the Computer Love Inc. series.

I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway. Alt ...more

**I won this book free in a Goodreads First Read giveaway, but all the opinions expressed are my unbiased honest review.**

I would like to give this book four out of five stars for its unpredictable twist at the end, but the story has 1 major problem -- except for a female service robot, all the characters are men. The antagonists, the protagonists, the periphery characters... all male. I was surprised by the lack of a female voice!

I would like to give this book four out of five stars for its unpredictable twist at the end, but the story has 1 major problem -- except for a female service robot, all the characters are men. The antagonists, the protagonists, the periphery characters... all male. I was surprised by the lack of a female voice!

The story ended with a bang with its incredibly surprising character twist at the end. My jaw, literally, dropped. (view spoiler)

The characters in the story investigated things, but they never really solved any problems. There seemed to be this divine intervention, and then all was right with the world. (view spoiler)

Overall, I felt the world was very interesting (even if I could not quite picture an air vehicle). I think most elements of the book worked. The authors developed some good analogies to help visualize the world and characters. However, they did use the analogy of things looking or sounding "like a Hollywood movie" a few too many times. And, yes, there were a few too many “Hollywood-like” plot devices used in the plot.

I think I would read another Computer Love story. If this book does become a series, I would ask that the authors consider developing some females. If the female companion, Cashmere, would have developed some independent thinking after they altered her blue chip?... that would have been so compelling and built upon companion rights activists that were introduced for only a few pages. There needs to be a lot more airing out of this world to make another book work and more variety in the characters. ...more

And since I have won it by giveaway it's only fair that I review it after I have received my book and after I've read it.

Computer Love Inc. by both Kurt and Jessica Hansen is a fascinating science fiction read. Fans of this genre will immediately fall in love with the plot. It is fast-paced, exciting, and pulls readers into its depth. Technology and the future are major incorporated into this well-written novel. I am not usually one to read science fiction, but this one was great. It held my at attention from the start. Plus, it contained mystery, suspense, and a bit of romance. Those are my favorite things to loo ...more
