it was amazing

I received an ARC of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via Black Crow Pr and the publishers.

Service Model is one of the most fun sci-fi dystopian reads I've ever read. You can tell the author had great fun writing this, and in all honesty, it's geniusly written!
Charles is a robot and not just any old robot. He's a gentleman's valet who works in a wealthy Manor house alongside other robots. But after he accidentally kills his owner, he is left with no purpose, so he goes out into the world in search of one. Charles befriends a fellow robot called The Wonk who tells him he has a virus called the protagonist virus and who helps Charles realise he is more than what he was built for and can make choices for his future. The pair get themselves into and out of many sticky situations, which were so well written with humour and thought-provoking moments, too.
The book is divided into five main sections, each one referenced towards a famous classical writer, which was fun working out through the section headings for each and again was a genius and fun idea.
The book does include some serious topics such as environmental factors, society, the justice system, the growth of AI and religion throughout the book, which do make you stop and think as they're very relevant to the future of mankind which is a great message as the book shows a dystopian future for mankind due to all of these factors. The book features very few humans due to all of these factors, which is definitely food for thought.
