Utgivarens beskrivning
Five years ago, Mike Smith was an unhappy man living all alone. Then he purchased a Daffodil. Far more than regular robots, his Daffodil Patience, changed his life in ways that he had never thought possible. Now it is the year 2037, and Mike and Patience have been married for five years. Retired and enjoying life, Mike thought that all his troubles were behind him, but it seems as though they are creeping up again. California Proposition 22 proposes to define a person as a biological entity, thereby annulling marriages, like Mike’s and Patience’s, performed in other states. Battle lines have been drawn, at least as far as the proponents of the bill are concerned. Now Mike must muster his own support to defeat the measure. But there is more going on than just politics. Daffodil, the robot maker, is in the news again. Hardware issues are leaving robots across the globe unable to function. Is it only an antenna issue? Now Patience herself is behaving oddly. Is there something really wrong with her, or does she just need a software upgrade?
His Robot Wife is the novella-length sequel to His Robot Girlfriend.
Kundrecensioner
Helt ok för 5 spänn
Något jag saknar lite är detaljerna i hur det skulle vara att vara tillsammans/gift med en robot. Alltså skillnaderna och upplärandet av robotens beteende och hur man skulle fungera ihop rent praktiskt. Till exempel: hur lär man en robot humor?
Men jag är nöjd med min investering av denna bok. Fem kronor är ju mindre än vad en app kostar.
Filmtips angående ämnet robotar: 200-års mannen (bicenntennial man) med Robin Williams och Sam Neil. Riktigt bra om man gillar genren.
