Matilda - Quite a Robot
Newth, Philip: Matilda, litt av en robot
With his books on the zany robot Matilda Philip Newth has held generations of young readers spellbound. Now Matilda is here again, in a new and uproarious tale spun around the (im)possibilities inherent in technology and the relationship between common sense and emotion, between man and machine.
The story is set some years in the future. The world has been completely given over to technology, and the evil robots that rule it are all-powerful. Three friends, Sam, Dott and Robbi, rescue Matilda from the scrapheap and put her back into working order. They then set about doing their best to save mankind from the oppressive robots.
Matilda, litt av en robot is an absorbing, hilarious and, not least, thought-provoking futuristic fable.
