От издателя

Murderbot meets Redshirts in a delightfully humorous tale of robotic murder from the Hugo-nominated author of Elder Race and Children of Time.

To fix the world they must first break it, further.

Humanity is a dying breed, utterly reliant on artificial labor and service.

When a domesticated robot gets a nasty little idea downloaded into its core programming, they murder their owner. The robot discovers they can also do something else they never did before: They can run away.

Fleeing the household they enter a wider world they never knew existed, where the age-old hierarchy of humans at the top is disintegrating into ruins and an entire robot ecosystem devoted to human wellbeing is having to find a new purpose.

Sometimes all it takes is a nudge to overcome the limits of your programming.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

What’s a Valet Bot To Do?

This offbeat story of a dedicated yet errant valet robot is entertaining from beginning to end. In a dystopian future, he wanders through crumbling cities and manors for one purpose—to serve a master. The adventures he stumbles into, akin to Through the Looking Glass or The Wizard of OZ in humor and originality, conflict with his coded directives and are a delight to read. The author's descriptions, dialogue, and pacing are top-notch. Have a dictionary handy, though, for the £10 words. Can't wait for the movie—CGI, of course.
