About this listen
In 2068, androids are an integrated part of human life. Big Brother no longer just watches from the shadows. It's in every household.
Lloyd Salter has OCD issues with noise and mess, and he's uncomfortable with human interaction. When his ex claimed the only thing perfect enough to live up to his standards was an android, Lloyd dismissed it. But two years later, after much self-assessment, he thinks he may have been right.
SATinc is the largest manufacturer of androids in Australia, including the Fully Compatible Units known as an A-Class 10. Their latest design is the Synthetic Human Android UNit, otherwise known as SHAUN. Shaun is compatible to Lloyd's every need; the perfect fit on an intellectual and physical basis.
But Lloyd soon realizes Shaun's not like other A-Class androids. He learns. He adapts. Sure that SATinc is aware Shaun functions outside of his programmed parameters, Lloyd must find a way to keep Shaun safe. No one can know how special Shaun is. No one can know he's evolved.
Contains mature themes.

Chose the book through my enjoyment of sci-fi, but was tempted to stop after an hour with the graphic bedroom (and shower) descriptions, but the reader learns as does Shaun through the different types of interaction with Lloyd, and the metaphor of the novel Moby Dick, how to move to the next teachable moment and revelation.
This is not a typical Joel Leslie narration, the Aussie accent, and the note of trepidation in Lloyd's tone, is a way to create a sharp contrast with all-knowing Shaun. The result is masterful and enjoyable.
This is my 6th book by this author, and confirms I will seek out more.
Will not write more so as to not spoil the plot for others, so they can have their own teachable moments lol.
An enjoyable way so spend 7hrs plus. Well done Audible with this one. RECOMMENDED
Enjoyable graphic user interface
