Many articles have been written about the value and danger of artificial intelligence, hereafter known as AI.   This novel shows the danger of bringing silicon to life without clearly seeing that intelligence may decide it wants to live its own life.  Pounce shows that if actual AI is developed that emotions and passions may also develop.

Pounce is a nanny and an AI robot.  Sentience has arrived but has it been enslaved is part of the Premise of the book.   Mankind has developed AI but is it prepared to accept that said Intelligence may, obviously, have a mind and purpose of its own.

Considering the ubiquitous nature of technology the premise of the book is not so much science fiction but a discussion or revelation of both probabilities and possibilities.  If a being is truly intelligent will it recognize the value of loyalty, love, and determination?  

I was somewhat dismayed by the conclusions drawn by the author however his experiential premise led to distrust and separation.

I enjoyed the book and its thought-provoking aspects.
