About this title

Review

"Short, But SO thought provoking. Regardless of your beliefs, this book will cause you to think about what it really IS to be a human being." - Dustin Rose, Goodreads user

"Very clear and argues a reasonable case for determinism and the problems involved in the pursuit of happiness and animal survival. If I wanted to give a book to someone unfamiliar with philosophy and shake them out of their dogmatic slumbers I might drop this [on them]." - Peter McLoughlin, Goodreads user

"Super interesting thoughtful read. There's a utopian ending that hints at a mysterious possibility for happiness but it isn't created. Yet. Or maybe the purpose is to propel the robot onward on the journey to find it?  There are a lot of books out there that explore this from a spiritual perspective but this was refreshingly built on a ground that a more scientific individual could relate to." - Siddharth Nair, Goodreads user
