Historia
Rosalyn Devar is on the run from her famous family, the bioengineering job she's come to hate, and her messed-up life. She's run all the way to outer space, where she's taken a position as a "space janitor", cleaning up ill-fated research expeditions. But no matter how far she goes, Rosalyn can't escape herself. After too many mistakes on the job, she's given one last chance: take care of salvaging the Brigantine, a research vessel that has gone dark, with all crew aboard thought dead. But the Brigantine's crew are very much alive - if not entirely human.

Historia
In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn't remember who he is, where he's from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power. In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it's as if the paint is literally calling to her. In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels.

Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying—from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn’t outrun. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds in total. On this dystopian Earth, however, Cara has survived. Identified as an outlier and therefore a perfect candidate for multiverse travel, Cara is plucked from the dirt of the wastelands.

Paxton never thought he’d be working for Cloud, the giant tech company that’s eaten much of the American economy. Much less that he’d be moving into one of the company’s sprawling live-work facilities. But compared to what’s left outside, Cloud’s bland chainstore life of gleaming entertainment halls, open-plan offices, and vast warehouses...well, it doesn’t seem so bad. It’s more than anyone else is offering.

Resumen del Editor
What it means to be human - and a mother - is put to the test in Carole Stivers’ debut novel set in a world that is more chilling and precarious than ever.
The year is 2049. When a deadly nonviral agent intended for biowarfare spreads out of control, scientists must scramble to ensure the survival of the human race. They turn to their last resort, a plan to place genetically engineered children inside the cocoons of large-scale robots - to be incubated, birthed, and raised by machines. But there is yet one hope of preserving the human order: an intelligence programmed into these machines that renders each unique in its own right - the Mother Code.
Kai is born in America’s desert Southwest, his only companion his robotic Mother, Rho-Z. Equipped with the knowledge and motivations of a human mother, Rho-Z raises Kai and teaches him how to survive. But as children like Kai come of age, their Mothers transform, too - in ways that were never predicted. And when government survivors decide that the Mothers must be destroyed, Kai is faced with a choice. Will he break the bond he shares with Rho-Z? Or will he fight to save the only parent he has ever known?
Set in a future that could be our own, The Mother Code explores what truly makes us human - and the tenuous nature of the boundaries between us and the machines we create.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Carole Stivers is far from the first to wonder if motherhood can be scientifically replicated, but this is a thoughtful and thought-provoking addition to that meditation. An end-of-times tale that focuses less on what has been lost and more on what and who might be saved (and how). Stivers' wonderful story settles right on the line between human and machine, as blame and threat and rescue and love shift from character to character in surprising and powerful ways." (Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times best-selling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves)
“Some stories are so unique, yet so universal, that it is wonder they aren’t a part of the human fable already. Carole Stivers’s The Mother Code, is such a novel. Simply written but powerful, chock full of ideas and extrapolations about what it means to be a mother and all that such a word implies. Both apocalyptic, yet hopeful, treat yourself to this story. You’ll be well rewarded.” (James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author of Crucible)
"I could not put down The Mother Code! Part action adventure, part sci-fi, the novel is suspenseful and cinematic and such a pleasure to read. Carole Stivers is a masterful storyteller and she has combined science, technology and history to tell a beautiful story of humanity and love." (Devi S. Laskar, author of The Atlas of Reds and Blues)

Four are decorated veterans of the 20th century’s space race. And six are teenagers, graduates of the exclusive Dalton Academy, who’ve been in training for this mission for most of their lives. It will take the team 23 years to reach Terra-Two. Twenty-three years spent in close quarters. Twenty-three years with no-one to rely on but each other. Twenty-three years with no rescue possible, should something go wrong.

Auben Mutze has more vices than he can deal with - six to be exact - each branded down his arm for the world to see. They mark him as a lesser twin in society, as inferior, but there’s no way he’ll let that define him. Intelligent and outgoing, Auben’s spirited antics make him popular among the other students at his underprivileged high school. So what if he’s envious of his twin Kasim, whose single vice brand is a ticket to a better life, one that likely won’t involve Auben. Then Auben starts hearing voices that speak to his dangerous side - encouraging him to perform evil deeds....

What's right is right. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from monitoring, went on with their lives.

When their hopes for ending Moquoia's brutal system of bondage are crushed, unlikely allies Lark and Veran are forced to flee into the harsh desert. With no weapons or horses, they must make their way to safety across the 50-mile expanse of waterless plains known as the water scrape. It is an odyssey filled with unexpected dangers that challenge even a skilled outlaw like Lark - though the farther they travel, the more she wonders if she even fits the fearsome title of the Sunshield Bandit anymore.

Imaginative but predictable
I liked the concepts and a lot of the imagery in this book. It has some novel ideas. Unfortunately I got caught up often when it felt like simple communication between the characters or obvious actions would have pretty much negated the conflict.

Mixed feelings
I really liked the premise of this book. The ending was an absolute full stop let down with really no climax or resolution.
Characters and dialog left a lot to be desired. The adults in particular all seemed just as robotic as the the robots. There was nothing at all to differentiate the characters personalities or emotions. There are very few expressions of emotions except from children. These linear characters and and the bland dialogue really put me off. Not once does a character have any complex emotions or motives it was almost cartoonish. The children are little better, because they are children and tend to have simpler motives and emotions.
I felt like the first third of the book could have been condensed considerably and a lot more time could have been given to the children and their struggle.
The fact that this book was on a list of best science fiction for 2020 is either a disappointing statement on contemporary literature. Or, as I suspect, it was put on such a list because someone paid for it to be there. It’s not awful but not award worthy.

It's fine
The idea is great, but delivery needed work. I liked the multiple timeline piece, we are getting a POV from the world that is collapsing that is building these robots for the future, and we are getting a POV from the children born to these robots. The issue is, we're getting SO MANY POV's from people in both timeline's, that the characters never fully develop and you don't get that real attachment to any character.
On of my other issues with this book, and maybe it's because I was listening to the audio version and maybe I missed it, but I think the children are supposed to be around 6-7 years old. With the decisions that they are making that just did not make much sense to me, I pictured them at around 10.

sick and tired of books with no denumont
as I listened to the last chapter not knowing that it was the last chapter I said silently to myself that I really hope that this book has some kind of purpose meaning or resolution only to find out that it was very high on the ranking of some of the most unsatisfying overall storytelling and purpose that I've read in a science fiction book in a long time.
there were some very interesting tie-ins to the native American hippie culture AI and the responsibility of people but the fundamental structure and premise of the book was quite frankly absurd.
I am a huge science fiction fan and have a great capacity to spend expectations in the belief of the crafting of future worlds. but this one was so unrealistic it actually has left me angry at having wasted the time reading this book. the thought that the world could somehow be repopulated by 10-year-olds is stupid I can't think of a better word than that.I am super disappointed because I was really looking forward to a meaningful and purposeful book a long lines of an Isaac Asimov or other great science fiction storyteller this is not that book.
