Henry and the Incredibly Incorrigible, Inconveniently Intelligent Smart Human by Lynn Messina10/22/2014 ![]() What would the world be like if robots dominated and humans were an often buggy technology? Just ask Henry. He's an average bot going through his difficult 13th upgrade. One day a human goes berserko in his mother's shop and they get an experimental replacement. This new human is unlike any he's seen before. He can complete complex tasks and he even likes to play video games and read comic books! Henry knows that humans aren't like robots, but he can't help feeling like this new human is more than just an appliance. Will Henry be willing to risk it all when his new friend needs him to break into the motherboard? I absolutely love the humor of this novel and the way it has robots and humans switch places in society provides plenty of opportunity for funny comparisons. Henry is the robot equivalent of a teenager and has a sort of virus that can make processing information at school difficult. The way this is described will ring true with many readers. The description of their adventures as they break into the motherboard reminds me of a video game and gamers are sure to enjoy it.
