Yea. I found it interesting. I also thought she may save him. But at the same time, the setting made me more realistic about my expectations.

The last man standing is a great setup for the rest of the book. The irony.

I don’t get the books reference to magic, and to the green glint.

Green itself is sometimes a reference to man-made or made-up stuff. Illusions basically. Just rewatch "The Matrix", if you don't believe me.

Every scene that plays in the Matrix itself has a green filter applied.

She's a robot, not really a she at all, an it, and she's looking for that "magic" humans used to see in nature. She's trying to see it, but can only see the world logically.

The robots miss humans, they have no purpose without them.
