The Singularity

Jozy and the Junkyard Wars, Book 1

By: Harrison Han

Narrated by: Francesca Golden

The singularity has begun. A cruel AI called G.G. has taken over San Francisco, and threatens to engulf all other AI consciousnesses into itself. Humans have retreated to junkyard cities, where they survive by paying their junkyard warlords with tech.

Jozy’s father left her at the family cabin two years ago. After returning to San Francisco, he disappeared. Now, Jozy and her robotic bear, Nabi, must find him, to learn what they can about stopping G.G.

On their journey, Jozy and Nabi are captured by a junkyard gang. A young rebel named Reese befriends them, and does his best to help Jozy, as she is forced to participate in the malicious Hector’s Games.

Good but short

Decent opening for a seemingly interesting story placed a dystopian world. However it felt too cut down for time. Not only is it quite short in overall length, but it feels as if a lot of potentially interesting detail and nuance was cut in order to fit the story into the allotted time.
