He's three inches tall. He has enormous plans. And he's about to learn that knowing everything isn't the same as understanding everything.

When a tech-curious kid receives a mysterious package, they're not expecting ERO, the Evil Robot Overlord: a palm-sized robot with one very big goal: destroy all human beings. There's just one problem. ERO still has a lot to learn.

With help from one clever kid and Jellybean, a dog ERO considers completely useless, this would-be villain discovers what AI can actually do in everyday life. It can make recommendations, help manage traffic, improve accessibility, and assist doctors and scientists. But can it understand friendship? Imagination? Fun? Why humans make art―or why anyone would love a dog that serves no obvious purpose? And there's something ERO hasn't calculated: AI has costs, too.
