Kurzbeschreibung
It started as an ordinary school field trip. The bus pulled up; the kids got off. Their teacher told them where to explore and what to look out for. But when Code Lightfall spots what appears to be a tiny metallic bee, his world will never be the same again . . . literally.
This “bee” leads Code from his world into Mekhos—the land of robots. And with bizarre robotic creatures around every turn—from infinipedes with razor-sharp mandibles to giant slaughterbots to tiny nanoscopic creatures that dissolve everything in their path—Mekhos is as dangerous as it is fantastical. It soon becomes clear that the only way for Code to get home is to embark on a daring rescue mission: find the object known as the Robonomicon before it falls into the hands of an evil ruler.
With new friends by his side, Code will journey from one end of Mekhos to the other in his quest to save himself—and all the robots—from impending doom. But as incredible as the adventure is, the biggest surprise is yet to come, when Code finds himself face-to-face with the last person he ever thought he’d see again. . . .

Reality-based magic
4. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of A Boy and His Bot for review, and I devoured it. It's fun, evocative, features wonderful characters, and it makes you think about the real world, even as you're transported to another one. Best of all, in this time of hyper-popular vampires, magic schools, and utter fantasy in young adult fiction, this story is reality-based.
Drawing from his background as a CMU-trained robotics expert, Wilson creates a world every bit as amazing as Harry Potter's. Actually, even more amazing, as it doesn't depend on magic; it all could, conceivably, come true, and therein lies the real magic.
Our down-the-rabbit hole hero is a nerdy boy named Code, who discovers the self-sustaining robotics experiment of a long-dead Native American civilization hidden in an ancient mound. After following a tiny humming bird-like robot through a rift between our world and the experimental robot one, Code meets a cast of robot characters and embarques on a quest to a Celestial City a la The Wizard of Oz to find his lost grandfather and, oh, incidentally, save the world of Mekhos.
Along the way, we're introduced to a robot culture whose members find us humans as alien as we would them, and here's where the book shines, by taking present day advances in robotics to their logical extremes and giving us a glimpse of the world we are actually now creating.
Inquisitive adults will enjoy this one every bit as much as kids.
