Summary
Late 22nd century. Humankind went beyond the Solar system boundaries spreading among the galaxy. The latest technological revolution led to an explosion of technology. Megacorporations compete in endeavors to make human life easier (oftentimes with contrary results). The biggest pangalactic megacorporation made a leap in this race of advancements creating perfect helpers for humankind.
Cloned human bodies, enhanced with nano-augmentation. With zero brain activity, under total control of sophisticated processors. Hyper-accelerated regeneration of tissues in combination with inhumanly fast reaction time and strength, heightened hearing, infrared vision, a built-in detector capable to discern the slightest shift in hormonal balance, signaling trueness or falsity.
An artificial construct, executing any order without pause for thought or emotion — be it to destroy or rescue.
Cyborgs.
“Mary” — consumer product line for housekeeping.
“Irien” — luxury line for sexual entertainment.
“DEX” — base line of combat cyborgs.Series

Summary
For three months, things seemed to be improving. The end of the revolution had brought about the declaration that androids were living beings--a new intelligent species, as President Warren had put it--and the team at Jericho had been pulled into the world of politics, fighting for the rights of their people through words and appeals to people who couldn’t possibly understand what they’d been through. But they had listened, somehow, and promised changes, and slowly things began to turn. As a whole, androids had hope for their eventual place in society.
And then, in two days, everything stopped.
With deviancy now considered a malfunction once again, deviant androids are either destroyed or, if they're worth it, repaired. Connor, being CyberLife's most advanced and expensive prototype, is in the latter group, and is sent back to the DPD as an example of CyberLife's success in ending deviancy once and for all. Only the reset didn't work quite as well as CyberLife intended, and Connor's life--and those of the other androids that have survived--depends on how well he can keep up the act of being the Deviant Hunter once again.

Summary
"Connor became ‘woke’, as the kids say, on a biting December morning. Upon careful consideration, he determined it was best not to tell anybody."
List of things Connor has ruined since he deviated: the police force. Hunts for deviants. The printer. Lieutenant Anderson’s patience. Gavin Reed’s kneecap. The sense of safety and security that came when you were not acting as a double agent for the month old yet still unsuccessful terrorist organization and spilling confidential government secrets. The coffee machine. His life.
Mostly his life.

Summary
Unemployment was not the best thing to ever happen to Connor, but it was high on the list. The best thing to ever happen to Connor was the sight of a Corgi wearing a small cowboy hat leashed to a post in front of the liquor shop. The second best thing to ever happen to him was the emancipation of his people from slavery and the opening of negotiations for equal rights. But unemployment may come in at a solid third.

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that robots are connoisseurs of arts, culture, and fine wines. Connor, who considered himself a strong fan of 1940s Merrie Melodies skits, had read a book on Michelangelo once, and was still shaky on what exactly a corkscrew was supposed to do, was very culturally refined in android terms. This was not out of lack of trying on the part of the androids, but out of a lack of common sense.
