The title uses the metaphor of a robot to describe “A person who works mechanically without original thought”, which is applied to both the main character Damien, who is the fictional author of the novel, as well as others.Ī Crash Course on the Anatomy of Robots is apparently highly autobiographical but is fictionalized at least to the point of protecting the author from lawsuits. One thing to note about the title of this novel is that it does not refer to mechanized robots or science fiction in any shape or form. Combining a mixture of crazy travel adventures and flashbacks from the events that led up to the present, the author provides an emotional adventure through modern life.
In an effort to cope, he sets off for Southeast Asia on a quest to re-connect with humanity. It follows a young writer as he struggles to deal with a series of devastating life events that leave him feeling cutoff from his emotions and society.
A Crash Course on the Anatomy of Robots is an inventive novel of surviving life’s ups and downs for the 21st century.
