Barren Cove by Ariel S.Winter is a futuristic sci-fi novel about a world in which robots rule and very few humans are left alive. One older human built robot retreats to Barren Cove where a sick aging human is said to live. There he meets other robots and ponders the meaning of his existence.

There were moments when this book was quite thoughtful and interesting, and other moments when it seemed silly and depressing. Although I enjoyed it while reading it, by the end I was left feeling melancholy, the whole story was rather sad and pointless.
