An easy read, but…the robots weren’t robots. Even trying to accept the idea of HEEI (human-level intelligence robots), the author just made them fully human in every way other than having synthetic bodies.
In a small number of pages, it tried to tackle so many huge issues that it ended up just skating over all of them with magical solutions. This tiny story tried to address PTSD, racism, slavery/civil rights, poverty, how the economy is centralized around big tech platforms, American political tension, gender identity/the right to carve out your own identity, and more. It was just too much for a book this short, and ended up feeling trite rather than cozy.
