16 tales of sci-fi sex, mostly involving androids and robots, maybe half in space. Fiona Staple's Vanilla Game was probably my favourite, with a number of laugh out loud moments involving a woman VR questing. Myisha Hayne's Employee of the Month was another amusing one involving a competitive guy called Jesse and his robot nemesis CHR-L3. On the adorable side is Tits McGee's Remote Connection, where Ms Garcia is out doing tech repair at a broadcasting station in the wild with a lone maintenance android. On the more philosophical side, Anderjak's 5 yrs / 1 sec looks at a couple where one is switched off for five years, then switched back on as they reunite, bridging that divide. Upping the ante on the philosophy (and going for a very distinct art style reminiscent of The Fountain?) is Little Universe Machine, by Aud Koch, where one partner is off in space and the one left on earth seeks comfort in the arms of a robot whilst waxing poetic.

Fun, quick read. Not every story was particularly interesting to me, but that's fine. I liked experiencing different art styles and seeing what kind of sci-fi lore that the artists would incorporate in their interpretation of the theme. The first story, "Vanilla Game", was probably my favorite of the bunch.

First off, all the art in this book is great. The standouts for me would be Little Universe Machine by Aud Koch, Handsy by Meredith Mcclaren, and Love Triangulation by Blue Delliqanti and Jon Cairns. Even the holographic details on the cover really elevate the book.

As for stories, you kind of have to expect you’re not going to like every one. I don’t think any were bad but I did have some favorites. Those included Like We Do by Taylor Robin and Bodywork by Amanda Lafrenais. I would defiantly read a long form comic about these characters and there world.

Finally, the sex. As far as sex with robots goes I felt that most of the stories were pretty tame. I liked Employee of the Month by Myisha Haynes and Love Triangulation for deviating a bit from the formula. For a book that is centered around tech and robots, there was not as much creativity in terms of characters as I was expecting a lot of them. A lot of them were AI or androids that were humanoid or could pass off as human. Also, I don’t see how Bodywork and The Stuppa by Harlotin could be classified under stories about robots with the first being about a god-like being jumping between suits of armor and the second about a women having sex with a god through the use of a statue. Both of these stories are good, I’m just confused about the inclusion in this book.

Even with all my criticism I didn’t feel like eating this book bellow 5 stars as it still delivers on what it promises: smut. If nothing else, I’ve found a few more artists to follow.

Some of my favorite webcomic artists in an anthology together? Heck yeah! I enjoyed the diversity of characters and relationships portrayed. Some of the future tech/machines are really cool and I’d love to see more stories in those worlds.

3.5? Pretty porn, mostly involving robots. Extra fun after the Ace book.
