One author in particular who has captured my heart recently is TJ Klune, a queer writer who concocts the most emotionally meaningful, vibrantly thoughtful and delightfully escapist books and who has taken me back to the books of my youth where wonder and magic, and some hard-hitting emotionalism all came together in the one beautiful package.

It’s happened time and again to me and whether its Peter F. If you’re an inveterate reader like me, you will be acquainted with the long-lasting joy that comes from finding an author you love and having the distinct and sustained pleasure of reading as many books of theirs as you can get your hands on. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.Īlong the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached? (synopsis courtesy Gizmodo) Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled “HAP,” he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio–a past spent hunting humans.

In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots-fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention.
