When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he’s working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root.

Booktopia 2024 is a cross-collaboration project, and my partner will be Lesbians in Space. Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before is a collection of sapphic-themed short stories. If you like gay robots, you might love space lesbians too. People who support both campaigns will be able to claim some great rewards. Check it out here!
