Stimulation

Year 2054. People gave up the Internet, and Elon Musk destroyed the Moon. “Turn on my heart on ‘five’” — a fun yet deeply touching story about an emotional awakening of one android. During a showing of a classic film, Jared notices a strange feeling in his eyes. “Bots” don’t experience feelings, but when the theater lights come on, Jared discovers that he’s crying. Soon, overwhelmed by emotions, Jared heads to California, determined to find others like himself. But a feeling android is a dangerous combination, and Jared’s new life might end before it truly begins. Unless he can somehow change the world not only for himself, but for all other androids. “A love letter to all outsiders.” — Amazon “A fantastic satire in the style of Kurt Vonnegut.” — Corey Doctorow “A beautiful, funny, sincere analysis of what it means to be human.” — Simon Pegg “A contemplative and witty book, especially in how it reflects real life.” — Daily Mail “A rare novel—truly funny and touching—while also raising important philosophical questions.
