The narrative ends up being a war of ideals between two different post-human evolutions. In the middle are the few survivors, though from how things have been described civilization has been wiped out and there are almost no mention of women, children, infants, or the elderly. There are like one of each of those as well as a whole bunch of robots and a few soldiers holding on.

The robots are back, and this time they are stronger ...

My review of Robopocalypse mentioned something about how Lark Iron Cloud didn't deserve that ending and that I wanted to know what happened to Takeo and Mathilda in particular. Well, Robogenesis delivered on all points. And Lark Iron Cloud...hoo boy what a graphic chapter! 

Anyway, my only beef with the book is that it has classic middle-book problems in that it doesn't feel like a complete story. The events that unfold in this book are both awe-inspiring and devastating, and while I'm super happy the whole Wallace clan makes it through (what a tear-jerker moment when Cormac names his newborn son Jack, right?) and that Cormac, Mathilda, Lark Iron Cloud, Niner, and Mikiko are all lined up like some badass, grungy superhero group at the end, it feels very much like a new beginning rather than an ending and I WANT BOOK THREE RIGHT MEOW.

I loved Robopocalypse, which was everything I expected from World War Z. But whereas the first book told a clever story naturally, Robogenesis felt forced. Too many threads were developed without any payoff, whereas other threads lacked an origin, leaving me to wonder where they came from or how they tied into the book's predecessor. Robopocalypse stood well on its own without needing this sequel.
