The Absolved by Matthew Binder is told through the eyes of Henri, an oncologist in the not-so-distant future where robots and other technological advances have taken over most of the world's jobs. I love the voice of Henri. He is a great narrator in this new world, being flawed and disillusioned and completely credible. If not for my love of this character and the incredible writing talent of Binder, I doubt I would have been able to finish this book. The story quickly falls flat and as interesting as Henri is as a character, he's not enough to carry the entire story.


I was provided an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
