So You Want to Be a Robot

This collection of speculative short stories by A. Merc Rustad investigates the intersections of artificial intelligence, bodily transformation, and gender identity. The narratives explore how characters navigate their sense of self and belonging when the boundaries between human and machine, or between internal identity and external expression, become fluid or contested. Through these varied vignettes, the book examines the emotional and philosophical implications of living in a world where technology and personhood are inextricably linked.
