Lloyd never imagined the A-class android he ordered would be so much more than the sum of his mechanical parts. It's an exploration of what it means to be cognizant. It's more than a novel about an android and a man falling in love. If you haven't read this book yet, add it to your TBR immediately.īear with me as I try to find the right words.Įvolved is more than a dystopian sci-fi novel set 50 years in the future. When I first read it five years ago, I couldn't imagine a future where humanoid robots would be so integrated into daily life. With the advent of AI, this book is more timely and relevant than ever. Sure that SATinc is aware Shaun functions outside of his programmed parameters, Lloyd must find a way to keep Shaun safe.

But Lloyd soon realises Shaun’s not like other A-Class androids. Shaun is compatible with Lloyd’s every need the perfect fit on an intellectual and physical basis. Their latest design is the Synthetic Human Android UNit, otherwise known as SHAUN. SATinc is the largest manufacturer of androids in Australia, including the Fully Compatible Units known as an A-Class 10. But two years later, after much self-assessment, Lloyd thinks he may have been right.

When his ex claimed the only thing perfect enough to live up to his standards was an android, Lloyd dismissed it. Lloyd Salter has OCD issues with noise, mess, and he’s uncomfortable with human interaction. Big Brother no longer just watches from the shadows. In 2068, androids are an integrated part of human life.
