I can see all those influences, and I really enjoyed this book. The pacing, especially, reminds me of Adam's Hitchhiker series.

Oddly, the robots seemed to be the most human characters in the book. I do hope we'll be seeing more of Albion and Clyde. I enjoy this kind of off-beat humor, and will be sure to read the rest of this series.
