"The Wrong Unit: A Novel" by Rob Dircks
https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-Unit-Novel-Rob-Dircks/dp/0692720995/

A standalone science fiction book. I read the well printed and well
bound trade paperback published by Goldfinch Publishing in 2016.

413s98-itr8 is a agriculture robot running CORE version 3 in the year
2865. Also known as Heyoo (short for Hey You !), Heyoo has put itself
into the robot maintenance shop since the humans keep on telling it to
"screw yourself", therefore causing a circular reference in its
operating system. But, a group of humans have attacked the robot depot,
seized Heyoo, and teleported it to an unknown location with a mysterious
package on its back. The package is very noisy.

2865 is not a pleasant world for humans. The master CORE computer
seized power on Earth over eight hundred years ago and for efficiency's
sake, cut the population on Earth to just thirty million humans. CORE
ruthlessly runs the planet, deciding who will mate, which humans should
live, what jobs humans should do, etc. CORE must be overthrown but,
CORE has all the power.

Kind of a neat look at what is a human. And what is love ?
