The AI Uprising destroys society.
No internet, phones, or electricity. Machines turn against humans. The military SoldierBots have one function--seek and destroy.
Block is a simple CleanerBot programmed to scrub floors and serve hotel guests. Forced to leave his city, he must avoid dangerous SoldierBots and find a new hotel he can call home.
But when Block discovers a human infant, his surprise attachment to the girl compels him to protect her while traveling across the metal-infested wastelands of America to a safe haven. When he encounters Nova - a surly soldier who becomes an unlikely ally - they must tackle the biggest challenge of their lives.
Together, they face mortal danger from bands of scavengers, militaristic SoldierBots, and Combat Mechs. A cyborg Bounty Hunter will stop at nothing to find Block and the child - an infant who holds the key to humanity’s future.

A post-apocalyptic novel told from the perspective of an peaceful housekeeping robot. Not what I originally imagined when I first picked up this book. Though it takes a while for the MC to come to terms with "his" new reality, the story does a great job of depicting how an A.I. can go from following it's programming to finding it's purpose. The naivety of the MC does seem a bit grating at times, but that is more a reflection on me thinking as a human than anything against the MC. The pacing is slow, but this doesn't hurt the conclusion of the story. A well written first book in what looks to be an entertaining new series.
