Fantastic read. It's been a while since I've read such a solidly constructed, gritty sci-fi. Don't let the genre guide your judgment though. This is very much a western story in a sci fi setting, which isn't necessarily new, but I've never seen it done like this before.

The story was really captivating from the very first page. I found the dystopia/paradise/dystopia plotline to be really fascinating and well constructed. The characters were fantastic and disturbingly human considering they were all robots. But I suppose that was one of the major themes of the book after all! Anyway, read this.
