About the Book:

When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he’s working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root.

If you like: Asimov’s robot series, Cargill’s Sea of Rust, Newitz’s Autonomous, Chambers’ A Psalm for the Wild Built, Detroit: Become Human, Space Sweepers, Robocop, or any variety of robotic sci-fi in between, you’ll love this book.

About the Author:

Aimee Cozza writes and illustrates dark science fiction, fantasy, and horror, usually with a bittersweet twist or ending, focusing on the inner workings and struggles of beautifully flawed characters. Aimee primarily focuses on subjects regarding the dark-beautiful, surreal, and unsettling, often mixing or blurring sci-fi and fantasy. She enjoys exploring themes such as duality, disconnection, doomed romance, and mental illness/trauma.

In 2024, her debut sci-fi novella, The Warm Machine, raised for an indie published run of books during a successful crowdfunding campaign. The Warm Machine was met widely to a positive reception. Shorter stories, such as “Roomba Accidentally Saw Outside” and “Washed Ashore,” released as free stories on Itch, were also met to positive reception and resulted in full funding for an audiobook version of “Roomba Accidentally Saw Outside.“

Aimee grew up in New England and attended college at New England College (Formerly New Hampshire Institute of Art), graduating with a BFA in illustration. She has been a lifelong artist, writer, and lover of all things sci-fi.
