Brain Recyclers (Project Transhuman) Paperback – June 1, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
With humanity out in the open, Eve and her sisters are now the subject of worldwide adoration—and constant surveillance. With Eve as humanity’s spokeswoman, it’s up to her to bargain for the freedom she craves now that’s she’s had a taste of it.
But Eve’s pleas fall on deaf ears. Hers is only one voice, lost in a committee of robots hundreds of years her senior. No amount of earnestness can overcome the crushing inertia of the Human Committee.
With no prospect of gaining room to breathe within the rules, Eve hatches a plot to escape and finds out exactly why the robots have tried so hard to keep the humans safe.
The Brain Recyclers are out there. They want to be human again. They will stop at nothing.
Brain Recyclers is the second book in the Robot Geneticists series. For fans of old-school science fiction where robots are people and any problem can be solved (or created) with enough scientists. If you've ever wondered what the world would be like if scientists who'd read I, Robot created a race of robots, or if you ever wondered what might be more dangerous to clone than dinosaurs, this is the series for you.

About the author
Visit me at jsmorin.com
I am a creator of worlds and a destroyer of words. As a fantasy writer, my works range from traditional epics to futuristic fantasy with starships. I have worked as an unpaid Little League pitcher, a cashier, a student library aide, a factory grunt, a cubicle drone, and an engineer--there is some overlap in the last two.
Through it all, though, I was always a storyteller. Eventually I started writing books based on the stray stories in my head, and people kept telling me to write more of them. Now, that's all I do for a living.
I enjoy strategy, worldbuilding, and the fantasy author's privilege to make up words. I am a gamer, a joker, and a thinker of sideways thoughts. But I don't dance, can't sing, and my best artistic efforts fall short of your average notebook doodle. When you read my books, you are seeing me at my best.
My ultimate goal is to be both clever and right at the same time. I have it on good authority that I have yet to achieve it.

Brain Recyclers is better.
Extinction Reversed was a story about the history of the robots, what had happened to Earth, the invasion, the death of humanity, and the subsequent rise of the Robots who have spent the last 1000 years rebuilding the Earth so that it is ready for the re-emergence of Humans. This is where we also learnt that there are those robots that have been experimenting with humans, bringing them back early, before the technology was ready, resulting in humans that are not quite right. And this is where we met Eve14 and her Creator Evelyn11, one of the robots that have been experimenting. Evelyn11 is trying to create a perfect vessel so that she can shed her robotic skin and return to human form, regardless of the moral and ethical ramifications of this plan.
The other major character was Charlie7, the architect of the robots, possibly the oldest of the robots, and Eve’s friend and helper. Of course at the end of Extinction Reversed, Charlie7 sacrifices himself to save Eve, and they also believe that Evelyn11 has been destroyed.
Brain Recyclers is again, a wonderfully unique story, incredibly clever and totally brilliant in its story telling.
This time around, it is more of a Human story, as we see it told from Eve’s perspective, rather than from Charlie7’s and Evelyn11’s perspective (or the many other robots encountered in book 1).
This is where we really get an understanding of how the true talent of Morin as well. Whereas the first book had a very analytical, un-emotional feel to it, this book is far more emotional, the decisions made are more erratic and illogical, made by human instinct, rather than by the cold logic of a machine. Even though each of the robots is a certain percentage of a selection of human memories, they are centuries old, and have lost the ability to think and feel as humans once used to. They do not need to eat, sleep, or need the comfort of another human being.
Whereas we clearly feel this in the second book when we can feel the characters tire, their need for sustenance, and their needs for physical and emotional support from other human beings. The contrast is rather amazing, and although subtle at times, gives a real depth to the story, and separates the Humans from the robots.
In this 2nd book, although Eve has secured her freedom from Evelyn11, she is still trying to come to terms with her new existence. She has been placed with the rest of the Eve’s, although each of them has taken a new name as they want to have their own individuality. Eve14, as the oldest of the clones, has taken a position of the Human Rights Committee, but with so few humans on Earth, her still being a child, and what few humans there are being outnumbered 100’s to 1 by robots, Eve has little to no power in any meetings she goes to, and she soon realises this. It comes even more obvious when the future of Plato comes up in a meeting, and she only barely manages to save his life and realises that the robots can quickly turn from saviours to executioners in the time it takes to blink.
And thus begins a one of the many storylines in this tale as Eve begins her mission to save Plato’s life and free him.
This leads to a very interesting adventure for Eve, and an incredible learning curve for her, not only about life outside of Evelyn11’s lab, but also about the many types of robot.
She runs into many different characters for the first book, as well as a new Human character Gemini.
I don’t want to give too much away here, but the character of Gemini is exceptional. The development from the initial introduction and then through the story is masterful, and is a true highlight of the story. The interactions between Gemini and Eve are outstanding as this part of the story unfolds.
As well as the unfolding Eve story, there is the continuing Evelyn11 story weaving through as well. Added to this is several other subplots of not just a few robots, but there are now a couple of Humans added to the mix as well now, creating a fascinating story that is not just engaging but incredibly clever.
Morin has out down himself this time around, this is one of the best books he has every written, not just for the incredible character work, but for the riveting story line that just keeps twisting in such amazing ways that you will not want to put this down.
If you have not read Extinction Reversed – get it now and read it and if you have then make sure you read the sequel Brain Recyclers as soon as possible – you won’t be disappointed!!
I received a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
