“Geisha”

By | May 22, 2020 | Reviews

Androids indistinguishable from humans may not yet exist, but they are a prevalent force in science fiction. There are many tales of one robot’s struggle to fit in with human society, but few are handled as elegantly and humanely as Andi Watson’s “Geisha”. In four chapters and less than 100 pages, Watson explores themes of […]
