This novel, Bronson's first, whet my appetite for more sci fi. A lot more sci fi, which was my favorite genre as a kid, and which I'm rediscovering the joy of at the ripe age of...er...never mind. In his Masterclass on writing fiction, Dan Brown says to have a ticking clock. This novel has a clock that feels as if it's ticking off the hours of a death watch, right in the clonedroiod's head. Poor creature.

Superb!
One of the best sci-fi books I read in recent memory. The author has a great writing style, captures corporate and social dynamics, the characters are quite believable with strong real emotions, the main AI character is compelling, the science is solid and believable. Some very good discussions on the ethics of cloning and organ harvesting of potentially sentient beings. add a final dash of some philosophy and you have a fantastic read! I sure hope there's a sequel this would be a great s ...more

Super fun hard sci-fi novella in the vein of Asimov and Heinlein. Page turner all the way through, and I love that I couldn’t predict the ending.

I found Clonedroid to be a suspenseful and exciting read. The topic is relevant to modern times. It adds one more layer to the question, how long should a human live. With cloning, it could be forever. As long as you can afford it.
This also probes into the alternative idea of, if we clone, it is human. Or, on a metaphysical level, does it have a soul.
Abe is created as an experiment, but the timing couldn't be more off. The company that "owns" him falls under scrutiny for various legal matters an ...more

Fantastic new "classic" hard science fiction
Opinion only - no story spoilers
This book was a treat to read. It reminded me of the classic hard sci find that used to be more prevalent. Like Asimov's later writing in style, but with Crichton's technical detail. It even has the social commentary typical of classic sci fi, along with real science. At the mid point of the book, I couldn't put it down and finished in one shot. Hopefully we see more of this. ...more
