Powell's Presents: Annalee Newitz in Conversation With Arielle Duhaime-Ross

You don't have to eat food to know the way to a city's heart is through its stomach. So when a group of deactivated robots come back online in an abandoned ghost kitchen, they decide to make their own way doing what they know: making food — the tastiest hand-pulled noodles around — for the humans of San Francisco, who are recovering from a devastating war. But when their robot-run business starts causing a stir, a targeted wave of one-star reviews threatens to boil over into a crisis. To keep their doors open, they'll have to call on their customers, their community, and each other — and find a way to survive and thrive in a world that wasn't built for them. Automatic Noodle (Tordotcom) is a cozy near-future novella about a crew of leftover robots opening their very own noodle shop, from acclaimed sci-fi author Annalee Newitz. Newitz will be joined in conversation by science journalist and podcast host Arielle Duhaime-Ross.
