The Stories of Ibis by Hiroshi Yamamoto

3.0

Generations after the robot uprising, what stories would a robot choose to tell to a human? Naturally, a series of pleasant tales of AI/human friendship!

The conceit framing the stories was charming at first, but ended with Aesop-style moralizing slathered on like frosting. HAY GUISE STORIES AND DREAMS ARE IMPORTANT EVEN OUR MORAL AND INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORS THINK SO. ALSO KILLING IS WRONG. Okay great thanks for letting me know!
