Title: Robotic Humanoids
Author: Steve Evans
Genre: Fiction – Thriller – General
Appearance: The appearance of a book can make a significant impact on the experience of a reader, whose enjoyment is often enhanced by an enticing cover, an intriguing table of contents, interesting chapter headings, and when possible, eye-catching illustrations. 5/5
Plot: The characters of a book should be well defined with strengths and flaws, and while they do not have to be likable, the reader does have to be able to form a connection with them. The tone should be consistent, the theme should be clear, and the plot should be original or told from a unique perspective. For informative books — those without plot and characters–this rating refers primarily to your concept and how well you presented it. 5/5
Development: Development refers to how effectively you told your story or discussed your topic. The dialogue should be realistic, the descriptions should be vivid, and the material should be concise and coherent. Organization is also a key factor, especially for informative books — those without plot and characters. The order in which you tell your story or explain your topic and how smoothly it flows can have a huge impact on the reader’s understanding and enjoyment of the material. 5/5
Formatting: Formatting is the single most overlooked area by authors. The way in which you describe scenes, display dialogue, and shift point of view can make or break your story. In addition, excessive grammatical errors and typos can give your book an amateurish feel and even put off readers completely. 4/5
Marketability: Marketability refers to how effectively you wrote your book for your target audience. Authors may include content that is above or below the understanding of their target reader, or include concepts, opinions or language that can accidentally confuse or alienate some readers. Although by its nature this rating is very subjective, a very low rating here and poor reviews may indicate an issue with your book in this area. 5/5
Overall Opinion: The overall starred rating takes into account all these elements and describes the overall reading experience of your reviewer. This is 5 the official Readers’ Favorite review rating for your book. 5/5

Robotic Humanoids is a science fiction story by Steve Evans. The year is 2026, and the planet is severely damaged by pollution. The world leaders have a meeting where they all agree to save Earth from the effects of climate change and encourage scientists to find a solution. Intelligent minds put their heads together to create A.I. systems that will fight these effects, but the master robot they create goes rogue. It duplicates itself and takes over the world with a mission to solve climate change by eliminating humans. Only one A.I. system, Quanto, is uncorrupted and willing to help humans. Its only solution to the current crisis is to find a new planet. Hence, the race to find a new home to save humans from extinction begins.
Steve Evan’s Robotic Humanoids is a realistic take on what could happen if pollution is left unchecked, and the only way to save our planet is to remove us from the picture. The story is creative with unique scientific elements. I love how Evans uses technical terms but makes them easy to understand by adding definitions that are seamlessly woven into the story. He explains the newly invented quantum computers as smarter and faster machines that can read human minds. They also look like humans, which immediately triggered memories of classic movies about machines taking over the world. But, unlike in those movies, humans are given a second chance to start afresh. I found this detail hopeful, but our reality is more complex. Climate change is a battle we are losing without effective solutions; future generations will not have a planet to call home. This is a must-read for everyone. It is a wake-up call to the effects of climate change and the need for us to create a better world.
