Adrian Tchaikovsky: Service Model (EBook, 2024, Tor Books)

Meet Charles™, the latest in robot butler technology. Programmed to undertake the most menial household …

Light satirical tale of a robot valet after the apocalypse.

The somewhat satirical tale of Uncharles, a robot programmed as valet traveling across a collapsing, nearly post-human society, after the death of its master.

Very reminiscent of a lot of 50s and early 60s sci-fi, in that it uses bits of the apocalypse setting to satirize modern scoeity. It's pleasant, but somewhat unchallenging. Good as a lighter read.
