Summary:
The second YA
SyFy dystopian Thriller released by the debut author M. Black, dubbed Divergent
meets iRobot. This novel will appeal to a vast array of audiences. Filled with
haunting questions of consciousness and artificial intelligence, identity and
self-awareness, politics and love, life and death, the reader will be engaged
in an entertaining story filled with futuristic technology.
Set in the year 2055 in British Columbia, Canada, where humans are part robotic
and robots are becoming more humanlike, the line dividing the two is becoming
less clear.
When sixteen-year-old Fione meets Maci, a twenty-one-year-old Flexbot who
escapes from ImaTech located along the crust of the Coast Mountains, Fione’s
life is taken on a roller-coaster ride of events that begins with trying to
save Maci from ImaTech Corporation and ends with trying to save the country.

My Review:
Imagine living in a world where humans are becoming like
robots and flexbots are becoming like humans. Well Fione, Maci and Pix do just
that. The humans have what they call slabs inserted into their brain and a
device in their palms. A slab work more like computers and palms work more like
a phone or tablet. Fione uses her slab for things like working with files and
her palm for surfing the internet and texting her friends.
Maci has runaway/escaped from ImaTech and her creator. Maci
is a Flexbot and all the bots are being downloaded with a program called
Exotiqa and Maci wants no part of this new program. She has seen what it has
done to her friend Thirty. He no longer recognizes her as his friend; he no
longer feels the same way about her as he did before. Exotiqa takes away the
part that makes him Thirty.
And now the human world has gotten a new update, Exotiqa
including most of Fione’s friends. With this new update humans are now acting
like robots. They no longer have any feelings. They walk around like zombies.
But Fione and Pix have refused to download Exotiqa and are very glad they have
after seeing all their friends.
Now Maci, Fione and Pix are all on the run from the people
and Flexbots at ImaTech. Of course neither one wants to be downloaded with
Exotiqa but Maci has other reasons for running as well. Someone has put out a
hit on Maci’s life. But they are not only fighting for their own lives now they
are fighting for the whole country, the whole world as well as their family and
friends, human and flexbot alike.
If anyone knows me or follow my reviews then you know that I
love a good dystopian or science fiction novel. So when I kept hearing about
Exotiqa I just had to read it. And boy am I ever glad I did. I loved it beyond
reason. I kept seeing it play out in my head like a movie. I wanted to see it
on the big screen. The world of Exotiqa is so amazing I don’t have any words
for it.
Maci reminds me of the characters Leeloo from the movie The
Fifth Element and Starman from the movie Starman. Leeloo or Starman know how to
speak to humans or their language. I loved watching them learn how to talk and
pick up human characteristics like I loved reading about Maci and seeing her in
mind trying to be sarcastic or making facial features.
I would recommend Exotiqa to anyone who loves science
fiction and/or dystopian books. Come join Fione, Maci and Pix to see if they
can save the world!
