Evil Genius is darkly hilarious and sharply observant--and the precise/articulate writing makes it a pleasure to read. It's 1974, and Celia Dent, a phone company employee, is slowly but surely becoming conscious of how "her Drew" abuses her. It's got ...more

Annie Bot is a robot Cuddle Bunny purchased by a man after his divorce. With her organic skin, she is indistinguishable from a real woman, and, as an "autodidactic" model, she can learn and experience feelings. It may seem absurd, but you will genuin ...more
