Smut Peddler Presents: Sex Machine by Amanda Lafrenais

4.0

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.
