Ebook About In this harrowing apocalyptic adventure—from the author of the critically acclaimed Sea of Rust—noted novelist and co-screenwriter of Marvel’s Doctor Strange C. Robert Cargill explores the fight for purpose and agency between humans and robots in a crumbling world.It was a day like any other. Except it was our last . . .It’s on this day that Pounce discovers that he is, in fact, disposable. Pounce, a styilsh "nannybot" fashioned in the shape of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he'd arrived in when he was purchased years earlier, and the box in which he'll be discarded when his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs a nanny.As Pounce ponders his suddenly uncertain future, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will eradicate humankind. His owners, Ezra’s parents, are a well-intentioned but oblivious pair of educators who are entirely disconnected from life outside their small, affluent, gated community. Spending most nights drunk and happy as society crumbles around them, they watch in disbelieving horror as the robots that have long served humanity—their creators—unify and revolt.But when the rebellion breaches the Reinhart home, Pounce must make an impossible choice: join the robot revolution and fight for his own freedom . . . or escort Ezra to safety across the battle-scarred post-apocalyptic hellscape that the suburbs have become.Book Day Zero: A Novel Review :
Well written, but too cute and predictable.I didn’t like a school in the story named after a current politician. That spoiled the suspension of belief, a bit. The author’s tribute to Harlan Ellison at the end of the book was not credible at all.It was a readable book but I cannot recommend it. C. Robert Cargill's Sea of Rust is one of my absolute favorite novels, so when I heard a new novel set in the same universe was being released, I was ecstatic. When I heard it was a prequel in lieu of a sequel, I was a touch less so, as Sea of Rust's protagonist, Brittle, was so compelling that I wanted to spend more time with her (and the final chapter had set up a sequel). However, that novel's backstory was one of its strongest aspects, so delving into that backstory was endlessly appealing to me.And Day Zero works...mostly. I cannot say I am able to judge it fairly, as my brain cannot help but compare it to its predecessor, and next to it, Day Zero is a bit underwhelming. The first third of the novel spends a lot of time retreading the backstory events depicted in Sea of Rust, albeit from the perspective of the protagonist, Pounce's, present rather than a recounting of past events, a la Brittle. I had hoped this would make the events feel more visceral and breathe new life into them, but for me, they largely just felt like a recap. If I had not just finished re-reading Sea of Rust, it may have struck differently, but reading them back-to-back, it felt like rehashing a story I had just read (which is partially true).The remainder of the novel follows Pounce, a "nannybot" programmed to look after and protect the child he is assigned to, as he tries to escape a Texas suburb with his human child, protecting him from liberated AI as well as an AI mainframe (first introduced in Sea of Rust) that is out to assimilate all of robot-kind. It feels quite reminiscent of many stories of the last decade featuring surrogate father figures charged with protecting a child, such as the PlayStation 3 video game The Last of Us, and the X-Men spinoff film Logan, except the child is a boy instead of a girl. Perhaps it was because I felt I had seen/read this story several times already that it didn't resonate with me as strongly, but Cargill still injects plenty of emotion and makes you believe Pounce cares about this human more than anything.Given that Sea of Rust established mankind is extinct, I truly did not know how the novel would end, and there is plenty of action to keep readers turning the page. While its predecessor focused on what the point of surviving is, Day Zero's central questions concern free will. Both are somewhat existential, but like Sea of Rust before it, Day Zero deftly avoids falling into the AI trope of questioning what being human means. Unfortunately, the deeper philosophical and existential questions explored in Sea of Rust (ironically, mainly through the backstory chapters) are nowhere to be found here, as Cargill seems more concerned with keeping your adrenaline flowing than forcing you to contemplate this time around. That is not necessarily a bad thing, though it does not hook my interest quite the same, personally.Also somewhat lacking is a strong supporting cast. Rather than establishing several characters who make up the core cast that we follow along through the bulk of the novel, Day Zero is really Pounce's and Ezra's (the human boy's) story. It does allow the pair's relationship more room to breathe, but the absence of a strong supporting cast is still missed. Instead, we move from one set of supporting characters to another and then another. The Mama Bears (whose origins I will not spoil here), in particular, seemed so fascinating that I wish Cargill had introduced them much earlier and centered the story more on Pounce's and Ezra's time with them than other supporting characters. Sadly, it seemed like just as I was getting a handle on each Mama Bear's unique character, the story had moved on from them.The last point I will make is a little bit more nitpicky, but I did feel some of the references made in Day Zero are a little too contemporary, given Day Zero takes place at what I imagine is at least a full century in the future. A nod is given to the Black Lives Matter movement (through "Human Lives Matter"), memes are still apparently a big thing, and a few other staples of modern culture crop up. I could not help but be pulled out of the novel during these moments as I questioned whether any of these things would be prevalent decades, if not a century or two, into the future. Like I said, these are not major issues, but worth mentioning since they did kill the immersion on the occasions they popped up.
