Gear Box I: Gear Child

By Mark David Campbell

From our beloved teddy bear to our cherished first car, we form deep emotional bonds with inanimate objects. Inevitably, AI machines will develop the capacity to love us in return.
In a post-apocalyptic world that survives on garbage left over from the Gawd Wars eight generations ago, Sunny Boy, a semi-organic machine made initially to emulate a thirteen-year-old, and later modified as an eighteen-year-old, longs to be loved. His quest to find a family takes him from a farm in Winnipeg to the far reaches of the known galaxy. When Sunny Boy becomes embroiled in an ancient battle between a collective intelligence and a parasitic alien crystal, the boundaries between organic and inorganic life are called into question.
