BLURB: EXOTIQA (YA Robot Cyberpunk Dystopia) (EXOTIQA WORLD Book 1)

Revised second edition 2018.
Now a script for motion pictures.

iRobot meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Fans of Phillip Dick, Isaac Asimov, Margaret Atwood, Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth will enjoy her stories.

I’m trying to imagine someone who’s a fan of all five of those authors, and failing.

“Now a script” with no production info is a weak selling point. There are self-pub’d television and movie scripts that have not been produced (and may never be).

What is “iRobot”? I’ve never heard of it. Is it a ripoff of Asimov’s classic “I, Robot”?

“Fans of Phillip Dick, Isaac Asimov, Margaret Atwood, Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth will enjoy her stories.” …whose? Veronica Roth’s? Yes, I imagine they will.

“iRobot meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”

I’m trying to imagine an iRobot Roomba chasing people down to replace them.

It’s supposed to be “I, Robot” for crying out loud!! Just a simple Google search is all you had to do! Lazy.

The new Apple iRobot will press the screen buttons on your iPad or iPhone for you.
So what is the book actually about? I’m sensing it’s just bits by other authors ripped off and turned into a lousy wannabe movie script.

I’m waiting for Apple to realize the obvious market they’ve thus far been ignoring, and actually make an apple pie. They could call it the iPud.

Free tip to authors if you have more then three x meets or for fans of x . You have a severe case of trying to please everybody and end up pleaseing nobody.

Yes, the ref to “iRobot” as a sci-fi title is goofy.
iRobot article at Wikipedia
If the ref was meant to be “I, Robot” and spell check substituted “iRobot”, I would fault a writer who accepted spell check as gospel rather than as a mere suggestion.

Was this book made by a human, or by an algorithm? I think someone programmed a bot to make self published amazon books and it saw that “Fans of X” increases sales by 38.4% or something, so it just slapped a bunch of decent selling “sci-fi” authors on the blurb then started procedurally generating the next book.

Anything referencing iRobot is destined to suck. The author clearly never read I, Robot are anything approaching Asimov.

I do actually like all of those authors, although I struggle to think what a book combing all five would be like.
