Letters to Our Robot Son

SHORTLISTED FOR BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL - AUREALIS AWARDS

'impressively ambitious' -The Guardian

An unexpected story of life, family, hope, and redemption-at the end of the world (maybe).

Arto wakes up in a desolate world devoid of humanity-he's a robot, he knows that much-but he has no memory of how he got here. With a mysterious letter and a cheeky kitten as his only companion, he embarks on a quest to understand his existence.

As Arto navigates this unfamiliar landscape, he stumbles upon a cantankerous robot who claims to be his sister.

And that's a problem, because she might be the reason there are no more people.

PRAISE FOR LETTERS TO OUR ROBOT SON:

'Epic in every possible way. Big ideas. Big adventures. Big heart. Big questions. Cadance Bell reminds us why stories matter - particularly the ones we tell ourselves. She is a tale teller; a world conjurer; a narrative alchemist. Letters to Our Robot Son is as playful as it is prescient, and an intergalactic love letter to found families.'-Beejay Silcox, author and literary critic

'Cadance Bell has pulled off an extraordinary feat in Letters to Our Robot Son: a terrifying, funny, profound and ultimately hopeful story of what makes us human - and why we must question that. A rollicking adventure with a heart-busting character at its core that tussles with some of the biggest and most important questions of our time.' -Kate Mildenhall, author of The Mother Fault and The Hummingbird Effect
