Computerface

by Kevin Strange

While the Machines ravage humanity in a horrific, prolonged and violent genocide, the survivors of this nightmare apocalyptic world spend their short, violent lives hiding and running, doing their best to avoid the giant torture robots and man-sized retrieval units. That is, until they find Computerface, a man with an iPad grafted to his face. This bizarre disfigurement confuses the robot retrieval units, giving the human survivors an upper hand against the robots for the first time since their uprising. But will Computerface become the hero this decimated world needs, or will he remain the selfish sociopath he'd been in his former life?

This was a ton of fun. Not being an avid science fiction fan, I'm a hard sell with content like this, but it won me over big. If the Terminator franchise was more like this, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have to keep rebooting it. Loads of action, lots of quirky characters, machine/human hybrids, land-dwelling whale creatures on four legs, and sooo many things to appreciate. And, beyond all the theatricality, there was a plot. A bit of an overcomplicated plot, at times, but still something you can follow easily. And the brevity of this book also set it apart from other such stories. Again, just very fun and enjoyable for a lot of reasons. Kevin Strange continues to impress me.

COMPUTERFACE!! This book is so fun! I absolutely loved every single page! Uterus is just the best character ever, and of course Brundy and McKenzie. All hail Computerface!
