I have read a lot of books and don't
write reviews as much as I really should. Mostly because people like
to say they have no time to read but will post and re-post stuff from
Huffington Post and Buzzfeed daily but not take the time to read
something I have written. Yes, this is me being bitter.
I have friends that do many forms of
creative things so when they want or ask for my help I am grateful
because I love the process of creativity. K.N Parker previously wrote
a short story called The Death of Death that I reviewed. This story
shows that not only can he write longer stories but that he has grown
as a writer in this time.
I've read another story that he was
working on, one that has nothing to do with either TDOD or this new
one Autonomously Yours, that blew my mind. The way his brain works is
on a strange wavelength that I dip my toes into but have not truly
dove into. Autonomously Yours is a story that will make you laugh,
cringe, and question not only the future in terms of robotics but
also relationships and letting go.
This is the story of a robotics
engineer named Dr. Harold Okamura that is given the chance to create
a realistic robot. I don't mean realistic as in “Oh, look. It
thinks its people!” I mean it looks, feels, and behaves like an
actual human. And it is built to look, act, and do anything you want.
