Summary

An unlikely friendship. A dangerous voyage. A story about what it means to be human.

Humans went extinct 30 years ago. Now the world is ruled by machines. And 12-year-old robot XR_935 is just fine with that. Without humans around, there is no war, no pollution, no crime. Every member of society has a purpose. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

Until the day XR discovers something impossible.

Until the day XR discovers a 12-year-old human.

A funny, adventurous and poignant story set in a world ruled by robots.
