Cog
By: Greg van Eekhout
Review:
Cog is a robot. His name stands for cognitive development. Cog was created by a group called the uniMIND, and has become a near-human creature. Now uniMIND wants to take him apart. Cog has to escape from uniMIND with the help of his new robot friends. This book has great detail into the characters, and the fact that they are robots doesn’t affect how they are described. Cog has a unique storyline with a moderate pace that will keep you hooked until the end.

Official book description:
Cog looks like a normal twelve-year-old boy. But his name is short for “cognitive development,” and he was built to learn.
But after an accident leaves him damaged, Cog wakes up in an unknown lab—and Gina, the scientist who created and cared for him, is nowhere to be found. Surrounded by scientists who want to study him and remove his brain, Cog recruits four robot accomplices for a mission to find her.
Cog, ADA, Proto, Trashbot, and Car’s journey will likely involve much cognitive development in the form of mistakes, but Cog is willing to risk everything to find his way back to Gina.
