Additional Project Info

This work of speculative fiction imagines a world in which technological advances focused on service robots, like those in Isaac Asimov's works or The Jetsons, rather than our current digital age. The setting also pre-dates marriage equality in the United States to emphasize themes of othering, discrimination, and the sacrifices one makes for love.
