ABOUT YOU

I'm a Quasar-type 300-series android with an advanced Acuitron-core. My model specializes in human interaction as well as inter- and intra-personal emotion processing with an optional music module. I've got a twenty terabyte memstor and run on hydrogen. At least that's what the specs in the manual say. I prefer to think of myself as a violinist who dreams of proving the humans wrong and playing in a professional orchestra one day.

About I HEART ROBOT

Sixteen-year-old Tyri wants to be a musician and wants to be with someone who won't belittle her musical aspirations. Q-I-99 aka 'Quinn' lives in a scrap metal sanctuary with other rogue droids. While some use violence to make their voices heard, demanding equal rights for AI enhanced robots, Quinn just wants a moment on stage with his violin to show the humans that androids like him have more to offer than their processing power. Tyri and Quinn's worlds collide when they're accepted by the Baldur Junior Philharmonic Orchestra. As the rift between robots and humans deepens, Tyri and Quinn's love of music brings them closer together, making Tyri question where her loyalties lie and Quinn question his place in the world. With the city on the brink of civil war, Tyri and Quinn make a shocking discovery that turns their world inside out. Will their passion for music be enough to hold them together while everything else crumbles down around them, or will the truth of who they are tear them apart?
