I've got such a jumble in my head about this book and I can't really put it in any decent order. So I'm just going to wordvomit a little bit.
If the Mad Max, Terminator, Matrix movies, and Waterworld (without the water) had a baby it would be this.
I need this to be its own movie. Maybe a miniseries because there's a lot going on here.
Holy shit I love good robot scifi.
Why hasn't a Goodreads librarian changed the synopsis to show that Brittle thinks of herself as a female robot?
Would robots really care about gender once humans are extinct? Was it just programming and voiceboxes that had them holding onto gender? I know Cargill tried to explain this but I still think robots might have thrown off human genders. It's a social construct they have no need for. Humans are people but robots are persons so why not a distinct robot pronoun?
I wonder if there's going to be a sequel to this. It wasn't a cliffhanger but it was still pretty open ended. What happened to Brittle was cool. What happened to Mercer was not cool. If there's a sequel we'd better see him again.

This was a 3.5 review worth rounding up. It would have been higher but one character was so annoying I actually wanted them to be eaten or slapped.All around interesting and solid dinosaur scifi thriller with a decent attempt at science. At 45% of the way through I had to stop and rewatch the movie, which is incidentally about where the book starts to differ quite a bit. It's probably sacrilegious but I think the movie was better. I could rewatch the movie over and over; once was enough for the book.The acknowledgements mention [a:Robert T. Bakker 68286 Robert T.

I totally forgot why I marked this with my catch-all disability shelf and had to look up if I'd made a shelving error. I didn't, as revealed in the prologue. I'll mark my reminder to myself with a spoiler in case anyone reading this hasn't seen the show and wants to go into this book cold. Simon's speech development was delayed and he had a stutter he worked to overcome.
Maybe I need a new guilty-pleasure shelf because I think I liked this more than I should have. Or maybe so-bad-it's-good. It's steamy, or the new phrase spicy, and so is the show.
