After shirking her programming and abandoning her life of subservience, personal model NX slips from the mid-upper levels of the city to the disrepaired lower levels, where she meets a disillusioned cyborg who offers her an extraordinarily kind hand on her way to find the fabled robot utopia Root. In him she sees an innate talent for creating that hones something inside herself too, and with her bubbly, unsuppressable optimism – and a bit of luck – she begins to skyrocket the downtrodden fashion designer into fame, fortune, and all of the good – and bad – notice that comes with just such a thing while forging an unshakable friendship she is wary to leave behind.
If you like: Asimov's robot detective series, Cargill's Sea of Rust, Newitz's Autonomous, Chambers' A Psalm for the Wild Built, Detroit: Become Human, Space Sweepers, Robocop, Wells' The Murderbot Diaries, or any variety of robotic sci-fi in between, you'll love this book.
This book can be enjoyed as a standalone novella, but includes some characters touched upon in The Warm Machine, published last year!
Launching November 12th, 2025, The Lucky Machine will be released as an eBook as well as a paperback/hardcover book.
