Annie Bot
By Sierra Greer

In the not-too-distant future, a technological innovation allows humans to keep advanced companion robots for a variety of practical functions.
Originally purchased as a Cuddle Bunny, or an intimate robot companion, Annie’s owner opts to put her in “autodidactic mode” where she can stretch the bounds of her autonomy and expand her consciousness.
Annie explores the idea of what it means to be human: ethics, social norms, relationships, individuality, and the very nature of consciousness itself.
Brilliant. So well written. Tense, emotional, creative and insightful. Highly recommend.
