Originally published in 2007 by Aqueduct Press, and republished in 2017 in Nightshade Books’ “More Than Human” anthology, this sweetly comic novella was ahead of its time in its depiction of artificial intelligence. Now with the explosion of AI into our lives, the book is finding new relevancy. What will happen when your robot gains sentience (self-awareness)? Will it love you, resent you, or simply become one more sullen teenager. Ride along with Avey, the robot, and see what the future has in store. Now at reduced rates on Amazon. Like WATERSHIP DOWN, ANIMAL FARM, and JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL, this simple story holds a profound message for humanity. “…a meditation on the passage of spirit into machine” – SFSite
