i'm completely operational and all my circuits are functioning normally
- Humans are unpredictable, so they say. I'll miss you, mon petit robot. The existential concerns raised upon termination of human-robot relationships.
- Perhaps those scenarios in which one makes out with oneself will not be entirely limited to REM content. And lest we forget Billy Idol's oh-so-human anthem, this robotic torso ostensibly allows one to hug oneself.
- Alone in a nursing home with no one but a robotic dog to snuggle. Sucks for you in regard to oxytocin, but at least you'll probably experience a decrease in cortisol.
- If cremation isn't creepy, why is a corpse-eating robot? It should be noted that said robots were designed to refuel on any biomass, but perhaps there's a gruesome spin afoot.
- Of course I'm going to include here the Radiolab episode Talking to Machines. Unwittingly falling for a chatbot, robot shrinks, and more!
- Tintypes for every taste. Edward Bateman's Mechanical Brides of the Uncanny.
