I read Autonomous because you mentioned it here, so wanted to leave an enthusiastic "thank you, random internet person" because it was a phenomenal book. Really solid overall! But that robot story is A+, and the trans framing both ties directly into the issue at hand in the parent post and proves why the trans robot thesis is such an effective one. It's such a well-realized exploration of robot identity/social role/autonomy!

I just. I really love this book.
