T.E.D.D. is a trash droid with glitches, sarcasm to spare, and zero interest in dealing with our crap.

Unfortunately, quitting isn’t easy when blackouts, psychotic episodes, and a corporate death squad are on your tail. To survive, T.E.D.D. must embrace his anomaly—and maybe even team up with the humans he can’t stand. Equal parts dry wit and reluctant heroics, a darkly comic sci-fi about the little guy’s fight against the machine and what it means to be human.

Perfect for fans of Martha Wells, Asimov, John Scalzi, Andy Weir, and Adrian Tchaikovsky.

once it finally gets going it starts to grab you. before that I was concerned since I had already purchased the series... liked the end and am looking forward to book 2. dislike the short chapters and minimal length.

short chapters, took a bit longer than I'd like to get going.

it was fine. the main character is sardonic and mildly funny. the story feels predictable and basic. it was enjoyable enough. the performer does a very good job in narrating the story.

mediocre robot freedom story

mix of cynical and cute; felt like it was going to be a stainless steel rat vibe. occasional highly detailed imagined scenes with more frequent 2010 boomeresque lack of vision and understanding of technology and prepubescent fascination with droid butt talk. felt like a cartoon adapted to a book.

solid mids

no conclusion or real definition of what the story or androids motives where. poor character development. Definitely not in the same class as Martha Wells series as the advertising suggests. It's like the author wants to sell a book as if it's an episode in a season of show. credits are too expensive to sit through skimpy portions of a storyline.

story went nowhere and never resolved itself. poor attempt at sequel baiting with no intermediate conclusion to the storyline.
