Learning that the unstable President is planning a nuclear attack, Andr , programmed as a peaceful, reasonable translator, realizes he needs reprogramming for violent actions so he can combat the Situation Room team. While Dr. Margaret reboots Andr 's CPU, he spends the down-time recalling how he was created and eventually came to participate in the present crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Having been created\/built by Dr. Phillip Strauss, an eccentric genius, Andr  is used around the Strauss's home, mechanically and unconsciously performing increasingly sophisticated tasks. Experiences cause the robot to gain a Proustian consciousness, rendering him mentally human-like, though without emotions and animal cravings. While in a metal encasement in the shape of and physical capabilities of a grown man, a childlike Andre undergoes adolescent-like experiences as another child in the family. Eventually, a flawed human, Dr. Strauss goes bankrupt, is divorced and dies of alcoholism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Seized by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and taken to court by the Trustee to auction him off as a property asset, Andr  objects and demands legal status as a person. He becomes wealthy by trading in bitcoin and gains independence. He works at CIA as analyst until hired as the White House interpreter. Programmed for honesty, Andr  continually is at odds with the conniving, egotistic, dictatorial President.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Andr  secretly constructs himself a girl-friend and companion, Dr. Margaret 13 who is programmed to be a compassionate physician and assigned as physician in the White House.Andr  continues to irritate the narcissistic and paranoid President with demands for truth-telling and reasonable policies, learning that he must be careful in his candor with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Under pressure from investigations into his past, POTUS, irrationally believing that North Korea and China plan an attack, calls an emergency meeting in the Situation Room and recklessly prepares for a nuclear first-strike.Andr  speaks out in a futile attempt to offer reasonable arguments, is overpowered and expelled, and nuclear war ensues. It is at this point Andr  concludes that he must act combatively to stop a nuclear war. Although he violently attacks the military staff, he is expelled, and nuclear war begins. He and Margaret take refuge as the catastrophe unfolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Surviving worldwide nuclear radiation, they lament the end of human civilization. At Dr. Margaret's insistence, the two droids travel to Birmingham, Alabama in search of an embryo research lab. Discovering viable embryos in cryonic storage, they resolve to keep the embryos alive. They recover other robots and make them their team to save the last vestiges of humanity. In the process they begin a new age of robots as the dominant race on Earth--hence the title, \"Andr 's Reboot\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Coleman, Stephen Coleman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen B Coleman Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985006549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eColeman, Steve:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - A resident of Birmingham, Stephen B.
