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 Withdrawn to the interior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". |

for free!

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.

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. |
