There's a broken down. Old house in the woods. A man (described as not a man. So probably a robot.) Starts living in it. He fixes it up and feels good about it. But he is lonely . As luck would have it a couple comes by and abandons their baby with him and he's not lonely anymore.
Ch 1 pg 9
The robot appears to be gone and the baby has grown into a man and he has two robot friends and they go to scrap heaps looking for more robot.parts together.
Ch 2 pg 18
The robot is ok. He is the grown baby's dad. They have solar power for dad and robots. The grown baby is named Victor. He has fruit and frozen meat to eat.
Ch 3
Victor goes back to the robot heap and finds an android that still has skin. One of his robots is a nurse robot and she thinks the android is good looking.
Ch 4
Vic and the vacume robot and the nurse robot go back to the robot heap and are able to find a replacement arm and foot for the android. But no power source, which is what really mattters.
Ch 5
Vic and the two robots work on the android. Foot and arm look nice. They don't have any synthetic skin, so they use some wood paneling that vic found. The android looks nice. Still no power source. So it's a nice looking decoration. Nurse robot suggests they could stand it up in the corner and have it hold a potted plant.
Ch 6
Vic has a "heart" he made for his dad as a backup power source for when his starts to have trouble. He gives it to the android. The android comes to life. THE android does not appear to enjoy being alive. VIc's dad hears the commotion and barges into Vic's lab. The Android thinks he's an attacker and moves to defend Vic and company.
Ch 7
They talk a bit and the. Hal jumps out the window and dad does too and follows him. Somehow they (vic, Rambo and nurse) find Hal as he was hiding but staring at a butterfly and Rambo almost runs it over and hal jumps out to save it.
They talk more and the general consensus is Hal cant be so bad if he wanted to save a pretty butterfly.
Ch 8 og 103
Just talking. Nobody jumps out of any windows or anything.
Hal starts by telling everyone how much he doesnt like them. But he must like Vic cause he's following him around like a lost puppy.
Dad explains to Hal that whatever he was before doesnt matter. With the heart Vic gave him Hal is now completely different from what he was.
Also dad seems to be trying to hide that Vic is a person.
There's some negative foreshadowing. Best guess, Hal is a terminator robot and Dad knows it, but thinks maybe Hal won't kill vic cause of his heart.
Ch 9
Hal doesn't know anything so he asks vic a lot of questions. When vic tells him about needing to kill animals and eat them hal runs out in the woods and brings back four rabbits. They listen to music with dad and they all have positive feelings about everything.
Ch 10
They go to the dump and thers a dirigible and robots and its scary and they run back home. Dad puts them all in an underground bunker and makes hap promise he will protect vic and he agrees.
Ch 11
The robots show up and tell dad they're gonna have him decommissioned cause he's obviously defective. Dad tips out his own heart so the robots can't have it. The robots light everything on fire.
Vic goes into shock for a while. When he comes to nurse robot shows him a video his dad made for him. He explains about how people made robots and the robots saw people sucked and told them what they could change so their suckiness wouldn't end in catastrophe. But the people wouldn't listen so the robots killed them. As predicted, Hap is a terminator. But he made a promise to protect vic and he better not break it.
Also, vic isn't a real boy. Dad made him in a lab.
Ch 12 pg 162
They're gonna go rescue dad.
Ch 13
They go to the junk yard and find a sleeping old one. Nurse robot hacks it to find out where its signal is coming from. It's 700 miles south east. Victor has a little nervous breakdown.
Ch 14
They walk through the forest and they find a road. Rambo wants to walk on the road. HAP tells him not to. He finds a piece of metal, throws it on the road and it goes zipping out of site. It's setup to move really big metal stuff super fast. How did hap know that? It keeps Vic up at night. It's a little scary every time your terminator friend does something unexpected. They decide to follow the road from a ways away so the robots don't get crushed by whatever it is that does the metal moving and so that Vic doesn't get cancer and die.
Ch 15
They find a house and the robot there traps them in the house cause he runs a freak show and theyre all freaks.
Ch 16
The government shows up to.kill all humans. But the crazy robot that kidnapped them hides them so nobody gets killed. But then im confused cause then it seems like they crazy robot attacks them but why bother saving them from.the government just to attack them?
Ch 17
I knew it. Humanity was wiped out. Giovanni created vic from scratch. It has been centuries since humans last walked the earth. Crazy robot loves humans and he was the one that helped Giovanni escape. The reason he attacked Hap, which was a miserable failure, is that he recognized him as a HARP since it was a HARP that came to the door looking for Vic.
Ch 18 pg 241
Mad hatter robot says he'll help them get into the elect4ic city, which it turns out was last Vegas.
Ch 19
They're snuck into the city in crates with help from an old "friend" of the mad hatter robot. The theory is they will be picked up by the blue butterfly or whatever the revolution is called.
Ch 20
What are the rules?
Stick together
Run if we have to
No dallying
No drilling
Be brave
They make it to the back door of heaven and put in the key the coachman gave them. A robot man comes and asks a bunch of questions and victor tells them his whole life story. The robot man let's them in with the promise he will take them to the blue fairy.
Ch 21
They get to the blue fairy and they hook up hap to a machine and they forcibly go though his memories and everyone gets to watch as he kills hundreds of people and grows a continence. It's very painful. So it's not just the heart that makes hap not want to kill people. He chose to not kill people. They (victor, Rambo and nurse ratched) remove him fro the whole matrix hookup despite the blue fairy's dire warning that it would be very bad. As promised it is bad. Hap tries to kill vic. But then vic kisses hap and he kinda snaps out of it. The rest of the book is just vic and hap making out and dry humping.
Ch 22
In what feels like a personal slight against me, other plot continues beyond making out and dry humping. In fact, there is no dry humping in this chapter at all. Tsk tsk tsk. The blue fairy says they will help them try to save Gio despite how stupid it is. But then says that the fate of robot kind hangs in the balance. If they dont succeed in saving Gio the authorities will remove free will from all robots. Talk about burying the headline. Seems like that's something the blue fairy should be fighting against directly rather than basically not stopping Vic and the group from trying. Hap is having a hard time. Vic kisses him again and they snuggle and its totes adorbs.
Ch 23
They go into the big authority building and Hap pretends to be a HARP and the three are prisoners. There's an odd thing in the elevator where they wanna go to floor 124 but as hap is pushing the buttons vic says wait and they go to the 12th floor on accident. But then they make it up to the 124th floor and there's a HARP and they fight and win. But in that fight the heart they made for gio breaks. So the plan to put the heart in gio is out the window. So they try to talk to him and that doesnt work.
So instead they go to the secret plan the blue fairy gave them. A computer virus that wipes the memories of all the networked robots. It doesnt affect Rambo or nurse but hap and gio are mind wiped. They take them up to the top floor and escape on the robots dirigible.
Part IV
Ch 24
