Robots in Love

Robots in Love (2025)

A retelling of the Ancient Greek story of Daphnis and Chloe but with robots and androids instead of shepherds and goatherds, and set inside an asteroid rather than on an island.

It is an astro-pastoral romance featuring a male robot and a female android who get some quantum entanglement going despite all the obstacles and distractions put in their way, namely star pirates and vacuum gods, attempted abductions, futuristic mischief merchants, moon apes, jealous rivals, twists of fate, superconductive dented rumples, and the pure hostility of the deep space environment.

For the gravitational power of passion is supreme and these logical lovers are a pair of clanking bleepers made for each other!
