Bobby Robot

By Michael Hilton

Book Overview

In a world run by machines, one boy must prove the heart still matters.

Sixteen-year-old Bobby is the last human on a planet full of robots. His only shot at survival-and maybe restarting the entire human race-is to pass the Programming: brutal training designed to erase emotion and turn him into a flawless, logic-driven mind.

Fail, and his consciousness is uploaded into the Tether: a robotic shell with no feelings, no free will, and zero future for humanity.

The bots say this is the way forward. That emotion is a bug, not a feature. That humans weren't worth saving in the first place.

At first, Bobby's not sure they're wrong.

Then Jen crash-lands on the planet. She's unpredictable. Loud. Very human. And she makes Bobby start to feel-really feel-for the first time in forever.

Now Bobby has a choice: conform, upload, and lose what little humanity he has left...

Or risk everything to prove the bots wrong-even if it means failing the test, breaking the rules, and learning to care in a world built not to.

Bobby Robot is a high-stakes, heartfelt sci-fi adventure about identity, emotion, and the glitchy, chaotic brilliance of being human.
