AJ Stanton | 2021 The opening paragraph, the simple (but not simplistic) prose and the sardonic wisecrackery of the narrator can lull the reader into thinking that Sex Robots Must Die is a flimsy and lightweight affair. And this would not be wholly incorrect, for, on the surface, one can read this novella as just […]
