I wanted to like this! But...I could not connect. The robot character was confusing. I listened for two hours of the audiobook. First audiobook I have exchanged. This is a debut work, so the author may improve.

Roadside Picnic | Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky

A classic sci fi story written by two brothers in 1971 Russia. It has influenced the genre to this day. The style (perhaps the translation) was challenging. I am sure I missed references to the politics in Russia at the time. The story foretold the Chernobyl disaster in many ways. I appreciate thought-provoking speculative fiction.
