the one and only book I’ve found so far to answer the “is the robot human?” question with “well, have you asked it if it wants to be?”. also, a protagonist who uses exclusively it/its pronouns while also having its ENTIRE story centred around how it is in fact a person, just not a human one. I’ll accept nonhuman rep when it’s this damn good
Graphic: Slavery
Moderate: Gun violence, Violence, and Blood
