'One of the tropes in representations of artificial women is that the “perfect woman”—even with her sexiness, superior intelligence, and skills—is also a fallible machine prone to malfunctioning, mechanical breakdowns, and glitches. These breakdowns may be a way of making these formidable females psychologically safer, too, by defusing them—however momentarily—of their power.'

"You built me! You manufactured me!"

very excited abt the inclusion of the bride of frankenstein as one of the female robots in this book. shes THEE modern-day galatea, and like many of the galateas before her, she's pulled apart by her beholder upon his rejection.
