A very interesting premise this universe. Mankind invented sentient robots to serve them but then became extinct, leaving all the robots behind. The main character is an unemployed (obviously) sex bot, which brings up some very unusual social problems.
Some clever stuff here and I think I found the inventiveness of the worldbuilding more interesting that the actual story. Nowhere else have I see flora and fauna referred to as 'solar powered, self replicating green goo', and 'self replicating pink goo'.
Not bad but I do not think I am invested enough to read the sequel.
