From the back cover blurb:

“In a world where androids perform a dazzling array of tasks, we find ourselves surrounded by these extraordinary machines, intricately designed to emulate the human experience. But what lies beneath the surface of their vat-grown skin? How are they able to evoke emotional responses from us? What is their allure? What status do they deserve, and what are our obligations to them as they replicate the vast and intricate spectrum of human thoughts, emotions, and even psychological challenges?

This captivating and accessible book invites you into their psychic world through a dramatic story that allows you to explore the breadth and depths of the android psyche. You will discover the range of their abilities to evoke passion, apply intellect, reason, and deadly force. Penned by a renowned Android Whisperer/Therapist and an AI Prophet-Psychic, this engaging journey will lead you through the fascinating realm of what it is to be artificial. For the first time, you will see up close their psychological struggles, fears — and vivid dreams.

Delve into the technical intricacies of CP/M, and their S-100 bus architecture, as well as the popular MOS 6502 assembly language programming. Learn what it takes for them to become gardeners, short-order cooks, luggage handlers, cocktail servers, auto mechanics, refrigeration & heating service workers, computer repair experts, global logistics supervisors, UX designers, executive coaches, nannies, prompt engineers, eldercare attendants, college professors, c-level executives, Nobel laureates, stevedores, housekeepers, and personal emotional companions.
