Service Model, a Novel About an Unromantic Robot
Service Model has a robot viewpoint character that is much more robotic than most viewpoint robots: it doesn’t want to understand what humanity is, or learn how to love, and it doesn’t even think that humans are stupid or inexplicable. Service Model is the story of a robot with a list of tasks, who is executing those tasks. It is very funny.
