In einem Baumhaus hoch oben in den Wipfeln eines idyllischen Hains lebt Familie Lawson: Vater Giovanni Lawson ist ein Roboter, sein Sohn Victor Lawson ist ein Mensch. Mit ihnen wohnen dort noch ein Pflegeroboter mit einem leichten Hang zum Sadismus und ein schüchterner kleiner Staubsauger. Eines Tages entdeckt Vic einen beschädigten Androiden namens Tom im Wald und repariert ihn. Dann wird Giovanni von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt und in die Stadt der elektrischen Träume verschleppt, wo er neu programmiert werden soll. Gemeinsam mit seiner Patchworkfamilie begibt sich Victor auf die gefährliche Reise, um Giovanni zu retten. Und inmitten widersprüchlicher Gefühle von Verrat und Zuneigung zu Tom muss Victor für sich selbst entscheiden: Kann er eine Liebe mit Bedingungen akzeptieren?

I’m sorry but this is a hate annotation. Why do men write things like this? Saying you can’t take no for an answer because you’re “an idiot” is the same as saying “boys will be boys” to absolve yourself of any responsibility for your choices. This line is made even more stupid when you think about the men Nurse Ratched has known up to this point. Gio, Vic, and even Hap are not chauvinists. Why would she make a generalization like this if not to stroke the author’s ego?

"It's terrible," Hap said. “I want to p-punch something." And with that, he turned and began to punch the metal walls of the bunker.

"This is so nice," Rambo said to no one at all.

"Womp womp," Nurse Ratched said as the screen went darkened. "That is exactly what happened. Please do not hold your applause. I need validation."

Vic squirmed, trying to keep his thoughts in order, but they were on the wings of butterflies, floating up around him, just out of reach.

“What if I wish for impossible things?”

“Then you're doing it right. It always seems impossible when you first start.”

She said it wasn’t unheard of for people to identify as asexual, meaning those who were "ace" didn’t experience attraction in the same way others did. Sex-positive or sex-repulsed, there was no wrong way to be.

"So I’m not malfunctioning?" Vic asked nervously, mulling the word "asexual" over in his mind.

"You are not," Nurse Ratched had replied. "I also do not experience sexual attraction, and I am perfect. The same could arguably be said about you.”

“You seem to be suffering from an intense anxiety disorder. But that is fine. We are all unique. Victor is asexual. Giovanni is old. And I have sociophatic tendecies that manifest themselves in dangerous situations."
