This was fanfreakingtastic! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
Fugitive. Criminal. Robot. 4 Stars!! Really enjoyed this little gem! I picked this out as one of my freebies from Audible this month. Sometimes the selection is not that great so I got this with hopes that it would be an alright read and it ended up surprising me!! I really liked the layout of the audio- it was in interview format with time lapses that made it feel like you were actually there. This is probably considered a middle grade read and I cant wait for my boys to give it a listen. Alth...
The book starts with a girl being interviewed by a police officer as she was found stealing, and she explains that she committed this crime as she was running away. I appreciated the voice of the narrators who all did a great job and Eve was absolutely perfect, she really seemed a robot. I must say that I am not so keen on audible books as I prefer reading from a book, maybe I am too sentimental but books for me are the best and the most loyal friends you can have and they illuminate my life, th...
This was actually pretty good. It definitely reminded me of the movie Replicas.. which features Keanu Reeves. No idea why that movie came to mind while listening to it but it probably had to deal with the whole robot family. Or child and soon to be mother. Not quite sure where Eve fits into this picture.That being said, this sci-fi adventure was dark and fun to listen to. In it, you will meet Eve who is not quite a girl.. and not quite a robot. She's adapting to every little thing that she learn...
This story is one of January’s free Audible Originals selection.This sci-fi adventure about a twelve year old girl who is actually a robot is told in interview snippets and flashbacks. The fun and at times dark story is about friendship, family, and agency. It was an entertaining and short, three hour story.
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this Audible Original, but it wasn't disappointing. The narrators kept it entertaining and enjoyable to listen. It was a fun story about an AI girl that had the appearance of being 12 years old. It was her story from her beginning and how she came to be what or who she was. It was fun to listen to her evolve from where she started to what she became and to those around her. It takes place with her sitting in a police station interview room and talking abou...
Notes:Cute story about AI's. Also, this will count at the 963 book I've read in 2020. =)
“Family isn't just parents and kids. It's not only DNA. Real family, the family that matters... it's about the connection we make to people. A connection that's so strong, it might just rewrite your programming.” Having recently read Walter Isaacson's The Innovators with its numerous discussions of the Turing Test (and Stan Lee's A Trick of Light with its emphasis on AI), it was fun to read Lee Bacon's Interview with the Robot. I thought the conversations between '12-year old Eve' and CWS socia
The whole thing is mediocre, but it has a good twist. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I see a movie or read a book that so perfectly represents its genre, I impulsively measure all other stories to that. For example, I can’t watch an indie musical without comparing it to Once or Sing Street. I can’t read magical realism without comparing it to anything by Murakami. And I can’t read a story about robots without comparing it to Her or Ex Machina. Interview With The Robot just doesn’t comp...
Excellent! This is by far the best Audible Original freebie I've read yet.
This was so good! I wasn’t expecting that. Audiobook: 5/5 ⭐️ Story: 4/5 ⭐️
One of my monthly audible original choices. Quick and unique read. Definitely wasn’t expecting that ending. Loved all the sci-fi jargan, and the analyzation of what it means to be a human, and what it means to have a family.
Interview with the RobotBy: Lee BaconNarrated by a cast of performersThis is a story for preteen/teen but adults would like it too! It's about a girl being interviewed at a jail for stealing. The interview tells the story of why she was stealing, who she was running from, where she came from, and more! Great sci fi story!The narration cast performance was excellent!
I kept imagining the protagonist to be Alita: Battle Angel! (a good movie btw). The story is generally predictable, with one good twist, but the presentation was superb. A short and good read listen.I'm looking forward to the time when audiobooks become interactive. Like a Black Mirror: Bandersnatch but for audio. Seems like a promising pathway, especially with text generation technology on the rise.This book album? is recommended.
Interview with the Robot by Lee Bacon, narrated very nicely, within intonations and moods by the cast of readers. It is an excellent listening on Audible, great for children. I have listened to this audiobook with my eight-year-old son on repeat already several times.
A fun & exciting little young adult/sci-fi that was a free audible offer.I may have rated it lower, had I read it in print, but as a full-cast audible production, it was very well dramatised. The fact that it was not too long (just short of 4 hours) is also one of its advantages. Recommended.
This audiobook is available for free onhttps://stories.audible.com/pdp/B082P... If you ever wonder how far people can go with AI, this is the book you can definitely give a shot to. Petra Amis, a child welfare officer, has been sent to interview a twelve year old shoplifter. Imagine her surprise when she discovered that the human-looking, human-sounding, human-behaving person in front of her is actually a robot named Eve. The interview proceeds to reveal Eve's back story, about how this ordinary...
Omg. This was so much fun! I loved Lee's other audible original, "The Mystery of Alice." so I had to read this one. :D And it was amazing. I highly recommend "Interview with the robot" for a family-friendly science fiction adventure. :D The story starts with a child welfare worker interviewing a 12-year-old girl. Who is a lot more interesting then she seems. Then, we start learning Eve's backstory. She's a super-intelligent, super-advanced, super-realistic robot. And she's on the run. Throughout...
5 stars!This novella was excellent, I loved every minute and the narration was top notch!
Eve isn't the typical 12-year old girl. After being arrested for shop-lifting, she calmly explains her actions and her background to a child welfare worker. Eve has no parents or family. Never had a last name. Doesn't eat. Doesn't drink. She's a robot.....and on the run. I listened to the audio Audible Original performance of this story. The full-cast performance was quite entertaining and fun to listen to! The story is definitely geared toward middle grade age kids, but still enjoyable for adul...
