During the setup I felt like this book could go one of two ways - all hopeful "we can build a good civilisation" or all doom and gloom "even with the best intentions things go wrong". I thought I'd enjoy both.
Instead it went... adventure-y.
Well, I did think it was going to be a space opera, why did I get my hopes up for hard social sci-fi?

As space operas go, I thought this was really enjoyable. I'm a bit confused as to why we're only getting robots, no aliens, but I like it.
