Ron reviews Android Karenina, a Quirk mash-up of Tolstoy and robots.
But is it as good as Pride And Prejudice And Zombies?
Either that or Tolstoy is the perfect framework for steampunk.
Possibly a little of both.
I mean, look at whats happened to the Western world thanks to the economic downturn?
Everyones crazy and depressed and broke, unemployment is rampant.

Some might contend that all the dependence on technology and robots is a moral weakness.
Its a setting that actually works better with the added elements.
Im not sure how Quirk could top this one.
This is quite possibly the definitive mash-up novel.
It adds to the source incredibly skillfully.
Put aside your fears.Android Kareninais a great read.
UScorrespondent Ron Hogan has always wanted a robot companion like Small Stiva.
Theres nothing better than a cute robot!
