Booklist - 12/01/2019 Cog—short for “cognitive development”—is an android resembling a 12-year-old boy, built to learn about the world around him. He likes to do word problems and experience new things. Unfortunately, his relationship with his creators comes to an abrupt end once he learns that they want to take out his brain. Escaping the lab with his robot family and friends, Cog sets off in search of friendly scientist Gina, who has mysteriously disappeared, and as their crazy escapades unfold, they learn about pain, friendship, and more importantly—just like all sentient human children—how to process the world and their feelings about it. Cog is a gem of a robot, genuinely uninterested in world domination or serving a higher purpose. He enjoys learning and appreciating the journey along the way, and his robotic observations are comedic gold as he vocalizes experiences from car crashes to overeating. Readers will be charmed by this sf tale of free choice, hot dogs, and fun word problems. - Copyright 2019 Booklist.
