I've been wanting to read this book since it came out, and finally got a chance to borrow it from the library. Overall, it was a well-formed, quick-paced book, I dig sci-fi stories that are completely feasible.
Side note: A few days after I finished this book, a major telecom company in the US went down, and it reminded me of the fact that when the robots take over in this book, they knocked out all telecom. It totally freaked me out.
While I did enjoy this book, I'm not so sure if I'll continue the series. I don't feel like anything else needs to be added to the story.

With wellbeing and mindfulness being at the forefront of everyone's mind, I thought this would be a great read to start with. I work in a school so I request this book to see if it would suitable for our library. However I was quite disappointed. The books is broken down into sections but each section seemed to focus mainly on breathing and this became repetitive and tedious to read. Considering that there is a big push in mindfulness and wellbeing in most establishments I feel like a book aimed at students should be more in-depth as they would have had a lot of focus within school already, breathing being the most basic.
