Teaching A Robot To Love
A heartwarming retelling of 'Frankenstein' following a group of hopeful interns in the tech city of Nanotropolis, looking for their big break with a tech genius billionaire.
Mary Coral and her mad scientist roommate Faun make an extraordinary robot, Marsh, who quickly grows beyond its initial design. With competitors Lavender and Billie in hot pursuit of the revolutionary AI, the group learns that change can be good, billionaires are bad, and all you really need in life is friends, cheese, and hedgehogs. First they need to ensure Marsh doesn’t destroy the world!
