This is a GREAT short story.
Told mostly from the point of view of Computron, a one off sentient robot built in the 1950's - and a huge fan of an Anime.
I love this story, and it's easy to see why it has been nominated for a Hugo award in the Short Story category.
It's got some very funny moments in it - especially when Computron discovers online fandom.
Definitely a story that fans of All Systems Red (Martha Wells) will dig.
Merged review:
This short story is kind of creepy throughout. The reader is addressed personally by the guide through a weird show of the most perculiar.
Written in a style that borders the line between lyrical and poetic at times, it is easy to see why this story has been nominated for the Hugo Award.
A very enjoyable story.
