A planet with all things artificial- robots, houses, landscapes, emotions; Argosy IV. The robot Doops were an experiment that went wrong; created to serve human beings, they started to think and act for themselves and so were removed to this desolate planet. This is thought-provoking on all kinds of levels and strongly laced with the familiar dry Fisk wit. A strong story which is recommended to readers from Year 7 upwards- it would be interesting and illuminating to read it in parallel with an earlier Fisk, A Rag, A Bone and A Hank of Hair.
