So You Want to be a Robot and Other Stories

Step one: forget the convention and disregard the binary. Gender? Sexuality? Old words unsuited for new consciousness. The twentyone stories in this book challenge the imagination as only acclaimed author A. Merc Rustad can. Pages of robots and AIs constructing lives and exploring humanity; wasted worlds with monstrous cityhearts; assassins and the perils of enchanted labyrinths; and always the raw truths of love, loss, and devotion. Step two: read these sciencefiction and fantasy tales as if they are the only stories you will discover on your bookshelf this day. Step three: dare to feel.
