Summary: Wow!
Comment: I am not your typical Sci-Fi enthuist and was unfamiliar with the work of Card or Chiang until this book. However, through this collaborative piece these guys have won my respect! Every robot rendering featured in this book is comprized of unique personality and fine detail. In fact, the amount of intricate detail in every painting continues to amaze me. Aside from the paintings this book carries an interesting story line. Card and Chiang are definitely a winning team. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for stunning Sci-Fi illustrations and a great story.

Summary: Awesome story and fantastic art!
Comment: This book is totally incredible and unique! I've never read a book like this before. Chiang's artwork is unbelievable and Card's prose is a joy to read. It's quick-paced, never boring and filled with fresh twists and turns that are not contrived.
I'm not generally a fan of this genre, but when a friend showed me the book I was totally won over! The artwork and story really captivated me and, as Robert Zemekis said on the back-cover quote: "...Robota transported me to places I could never go in real life." I especially loved the interesting creatures and personalitites. They aren't your usual rubber-stamped variety, but wonderfully rich. Juomes the hunter beast and Beryl were especially intriguing. This book left me wanting more!
I'm glad to hear that Chiang and Card are developing the story in other media. If those projects turn out as great as this, I'll be the first in line! I strongly recommend this book!

Summary: Stunning paintings, but...
Comment: Absolutely stunning, five-star paintings wasted on a very poor story. Excellently produced book.
