Mama

Six stories of unusual robots in unexpected situations including the cover tale of robots that just care too damn much and the journey of a sex toy that has grown self-aware.

"We sent a crawler in already," the officer explained, pointing at a dashboard screen on the cruiser behind her. They had rolled a small robot into the building and it was recording the dining room, staring at the dead family sprawled across the floor. "The mama is at the back of the house in the nursery."

thoroughly enjoyed it

There are books that make a reader think, "I could have written that." Then, there are books like these that make a reader sigh and say, "I wish I'd written that."

Science Fiction at its finest

This is Science Fiction at its finest: the way it was meant to be. Brent Knowles appears to have a natural gift for storytelling....

Great collection of fresh and new voices in sci-fi!

And Brent Knowles unique style was also awesome....reminded me of Blade Runner for some reason, which is great! I can see Philip K. Dick in him for sure.

The Experience of a True Insider

Unlike other books I've read on the subject, Brent is a true insider with valuable experience. The book delivers no less than exactly what it promises.
