ROBOTTO OTTO #1 ROBOT ESCAPES. A highly intelligent robot escapes from a factory and is adopted by a high-tech programmer and his family with an only child. Together, the robot and the young boy enter a whirlwind partnership in modern-day Japan, involving the latest developments in 3-D printing, Artificial Intelligence, sophisticated batteries, and multi-polymer cladding. Related in some respects to Peter HenKal's first novel, Akira (also published by the Watermark Press), Robotto, Otto#1 is a high-spirited adventure novel, suitable for both the young and the old.
