Rhiannon
Imagine Mad Max, but with all AI bots, being chased across the bleak and blasted remnants of midwestern America by a Skynet-like AI that culminates in a Saving-Private-Ryan-final battle scene.
All of this action is interspersed with memories of robot servitude, and history lessons of the brutal and merciless bot vs human war, as recollected by the freebot Brittle. Brittle is also struggling to stay one step ahead of mercenary bot poachers hunting them down for spare parts while evading assimilation by the near-all-powerful One World Intelligences.
The very human-like motley crew of bots are simultaneously endearing and horrifying in their actions. There is ruthlessness, fragility and beauty. And a determined strength of spirit and survival that is instantly recognizable.
It's a breathless adventure that I didn't want to end.
