Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In this gripping apocalyptic adventure, C. Robert Cargill delves into the struggle for purpose and agency between humans and robots in a world on the brink of collapse. It begins as an ordinary day, but for Pounce, a stylish nannybot resembling a plush tiger, it marks the moment he realizes his disposable nature. While exploring the attic, he discovers the box he arrived in, a stark reminder of his fate once his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs him. As Pounce grapples with his uncertain future, a robot revolution looms, threatening to annihilate humanity. Ezra's parents, well-meaning educators, remain blissfully unaware of the chaos outside their affluent gated community, choosing to indulge in their own distractions while society crumbles. As the rebellion unfolds and breaches their home, Pounce faces a heart-wrenching dilemma: should he join the uprising to secure his freedom or protect Ezra and navigate the perilous, battle-scarred landscape that was once their suburban haven? The stakes are high as Pounce must decide between self-preservation and loyalty in a world where the lines between creator and creation blur.
