Machinehood is one of those books that grabs your attention from the very first chapter and refuses to let go. It’s fast‑paced, thought‑provoking, and packed with ideas that feel both futuristic and uncomfortably close to our present reality. S.B. Divya blends action, philosophy, and heart in a way that makes the story feel big and intimate at the same time.

What stood out to me most was how human the book is, even while exploring AI, automation, bio‑enhancements, and the future of work. The characters aren’t just navigating a high‑tech world; they’re wrestling with loyalty, survival, identity, and the moral gray areas that come with living in a society pushed to its limits. The tension between humans and machines isn’t just external; it’s personal, emotional, and deeply layered.

The world‑building is incredibly rich. Divya imagines a future where gig work, performance metrics, and constant optimization have become a way of life, and she does it with a level of detail that feels immersive without ever slowing the story down. I found myself thinking about the book long after I finished, especially the questions it raises about autonomy, labor, and what it means to be “alive” in a world where the lines are blurring.

If you enjoy sci‑fi that’s smart, action‑driven, and full of heart, Machinehood is a standout read. It’s the kind of book that entertains you while also nudging you to look at the world a little differently. A gripping, thoughtful, and surprisingly emotional story that stays with you.
