  SUMMARY
In the not-so-far future the polar ice caps have melted and the resulting raise of the ocean waters has drowned all the coastal cities of the world. Withdrawn to the interior of the continents, the human race keeps advancing, reaching to the point of creating realistic robots (called mechas) to serve him. One of the mecha-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his "mother", Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically. A futuristic adaptation of the tale of Pinocchio, with David being the "fake" boy who desperately wants to become "real".
  QUOTES
dr. know
Question me you pay the fee, two for five you get one for free!
david
If a fairy tale is real, wouldn't it be a fact? A flat fact?
gigolo joe
Say no more. New Category. Combine "Fact with "Fairy Tale". Now. Ask your question.
david
How can the Blue Fairy turn a robot into a real, live boy?
dr. know
"Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping, than you can understand"
Your journey will be perilous but the reward worth the price. In his book 'How can a robot become Human' Professor Allen Hobby writes of the process that will turn MECHA into ORGA.
Our "Blue Fairy" does exist in one place only
At the end of the world where the Lions Weep
This is the place where dreams are born.
