The robots thought that they’d eliminated all humans, but there were still some clinging to survival, who made it through the war. Now the robots and humans live side by side, and the world is so much better for it. They’ve formed a new society where they live together as equals. Even if XR doesn’t always understand the emotions or the disorder of the human’s settlement, XR is impressed that they somehow always seem to make it work––especially considering all the terrible things that robots did to humans all those years ago. But some humans are not so quick to forget or forgive what the robots did . . . and a group of humans begins to rise up and rebel against the precarious peace that they’ve made. Can XR and Emma quell this danger? Or could this be the end of the robots—and the world—as they know it?
