Alex + Ada: The Complete Collection

Reviews / Votes

LIBRARY JOURNAL -- When Alex receives the gift of
Ada, a sophisticated android companion, he's initially turned off by the idea of
living with a life-like robot woman waiting to obey his every command. But
there's more to Ada than meets the eye, and after an encounter with an
underground faction of rogue AIs dedicated to granting their kind sentience,
Alex finds himself bucking both the law and societal norms by falling in love.
With a carefully paced, intelligent script cowritten by Vaughn (Ruined)
and Luna (The Sword) and Luna's deceptively simple illustrations, this
intriguing sf manages to combine action, intrigue, big questions about what it
means to be sentient, and a passionate romance born of two solitary souls
finding unlikely solace in each other.
VERDICTWhile fans who lean more toward the swashbuckling end of the sf spectrum might
not find enough adventure here to be satisfied, readers who enjoy more adult,
thoughtful speculative fiction are sure to be
smitten.
