So I got the chance to read Objects of Affection, @taylor-titmouse's most recent erotic horror book. I've mentioned elsewhere how picky I am about how robots are discussed in fiction, especially if the writer takes the plunge and explores just how humans might decide to interface with them. There are plenty of stories out there that are frustrating in how they are unwilling, or even afraid, to truly consider the implications of a world where you can interact with machines that have human faces, voices, or bodies.
Objects of Affection is a book that gets it. An interconnected collection of three stories about a particular line of female androids and how people treat them, it's erotic in structure but also goes in to do something genuinely dark, and smart, and interesting. My favorite story's about Ratna, a lesbian mechanic doing a refurb job that I absolutely had to draw.
Mature audiences, obviously, but if this sounds like it's for you? Absolutely give it a read.
