In this collection of 6 short stories and 9 short essays we explore the future world of robots-fembots in particular- from the author’s own unique perspective. The essays cover factual speculations and extrapolations into what could be our very near future, as well as discussing the aspects of what to expect from a robotic future. The stories show the resulting relationships and interactions that have come from those speculations form the basis for the stories that follow. The stories, always sexy and romantic, are not always HEA-but then again neither is life. The stories include: “My First Robot” where a young man is given a robot who turns out to be rather more than he expected. “Three Strikes Against Her” wherein the adventure of buying a used fembot turns out to be more than either the purchaser-or the fembot-expected. “Fembot Studies” where you go to learn just what this fembot thing really is all about. “Mandy”, was introduced to us from a historical perspective in the previous story. Now learn her bittersweet story firsthand. “My Working Weekend” where an overworked executive learns what it means to be set up by his boss and boss’s fembot assistant. And “Lindsey’s Story” about a young fembot created as a throwaway toy. These are all stories that don’t pull any punches about how we will actually relate to and with our robotic companions if we build them correctly to start with.
Warnings: This title contains graphic language and robots in sexual situations.
