Me and My Robots

At the threshold

This literary work takes the possessive in its title seriously. It asks what is concealed in calling a machine ‘mine’: affection, labour, dependence, responsibility and a changing idea of the human.

The first pages do not explain the world away. They establish a disturbance, then let its consequences travel through private rooms, public systems and the language people use when they need the unbearable to sound ordinary.

Three questions it asks

What kind of relationship does ownership permit?

Can companionship survive unequal agency?

What becomes visible when AI is treated as part of ordinary life rather than spectacle?

A speculative world is useful when it makes a familiar moral comfort impossible to keep without examination.

After the first disturbance

Its promise is not a completed answer but a world whose pressure remains after the last page: an image, a rule or a choice that has become difficult to dismiss. The book lets the reader feel the stakes before it asks them to name them.
