Acerca de esta escucha
Robert Carlyle Taylor's award-winning debut novel
The First Robot President combines science fiction with political satire, making fun of Democrats and Republicans in equal measure. The novel centers around Thomas Jenkins, a lobbyist, and his robot wife whose political ambitions land her on the Green Party's 2520 Presidential ticket.
Gold prize for humor in the 2020-2021 Reader Views Reviewer's Choice Awards
Silver prize in the 2020-2021 Nautilus Awards
Distinguished Favorite in the 2021 NYC Big Book Award
Finalist in the 15th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards
"[A]n entertaining science fiction satire made fascinating because of its behind-the-scenes looks at the bruising world of modern politics." (Foreword Clarion Reviews)
"[A] perfect combination of science fiction and politics." (Paige Loveitt for Reader Views)
"Taylor's easy-to-read prose may remind many readers of mainstream authors treading in unfamiliar SF territory.... In this enjoyable story, ultralogical but humane machine niceness prevails over two-party idiocy and scheming." (Kirkus Reviews)

Charlie7 is the progenitor of a mechanical race he built from the ashes of a dead world—Earth. He is a robot of leisure and idle political meddling—a retirement well-earned. Or he was, until a human girl named Eve was dropped in his lap. Geneticists have restored Earth’s biome and begun repopulation. But primate cloning is in its infancy; human cloning is banned. Far from a failed genetics experiment, Eve is brilliant, curious, and heartbreakingly naïve about her species’ history. But Eve’s creator wants her back and has a gruesome fate planned for her.

What started as a flu outbreak on a military base proves deadlier than Ebola. Sympatico Syndrome is unlike anything the world has ever seen. Victims' behavior is changing to accommodate the rapid spread of the virus. Former Navy epidemiologist Cole Evans is well aware of the rare, infectious diseases the military studies. He also knows the government's stance on sharing information with the public, so if the media has already learned about the disease, then it's too late to contain the outbreak.

Overall, important ideas to think about
While I think there were some parts of the story that needed better editing, the story brings up a lot of subjects about the future that the human condition tends to brush aside such as future over population, how are we going to feed those extra mouths, out of control inflation. We need more accountants in higher levels of government, not wishful thinkers.
