Advance Praise
“Kumanchik's novel kicks off like lightning and doesn't let go until the satisfying conclusion. Her writing is taut and crisp, and her descriptions of the androids and 2045-technology are riveting. With an Intriguing cover design, plenty of fast-paced action, and a touch of romance, Automaton Nation is certain to please YA science-fiction fans, particularly those who enjoyed the Hunger Games.”
—BlueInk Review, STARRED REVIEW
"Entertaining and thought-provoking, Automaton Nation proves a poignant lilt on the ways technology connects us to the world but can also isolate us with Kumanchik posing some intriguing questions about artificial intelligence and relationships of the future."
—The BookViral Review
"This clever and compelling story goes beyond robot rebellion or the girl-meets-robot idea. It digs for meaning into social issues and mixed relationships, which adds a layer of sophistication and depth for a younger audience but would appeal to older audiences as well. Kumanchik is science conscious but isn't heavy-handed with tech and wisely focuses on the relationship story. I like so many things about the way the author crafted this novel, such as exploring the robot's feelings, the ramifications of forbidden love, and the "rights of robots." This story is entertaining, sparks the imagination, and opens a window into what life could be like in the near future between robots and humans. Overall, the story is gripping, the characters well-developed, and the conclusion will stay with you. Fans of Black Mirror, Her, 1984, and similar offerings will love this."
