The e-book presents three robot stories: The Smuggler's Mystery, Ardentium Fields, and Song to the Falling Star, each featuring different robots—from the shy to the rebellious one. The stories introduce robots performing gender, escorting dangerous missions, working in customs at the far reaches of the universe, suffering under corrupt bosses and dreaming.
From a Global South perspective and with touches of the New Weird, the Brazilian writer presents narratives that pay tribute to classic robot creations, such as Karel Čapek and Isaac Asimov, and take a fresh look at this iconic and mainstay element of international science fiction.
