This is a fine story by a talented author. Swirsky writes beautifully, with lovely description and sentences that wrap seamlessly around the words and images that drew this reader in.In the long-ago tradition of Asimov, Swirsky tackles the complex realm of robots and what they might think within the framework of human expectation. This is a love story as well as a carefully thought through analysis of human/robot interaction. Adriana's world is established and revealed elegantly, and Lucian develops in ways that are both logical and surprising.I think the story flows and goes where it needs to - the ending is rich and self-defining for Lucian and Adriana. To reveal more would be to move into the next chapter. Actually, that is something I would like to have. I think this story could be developed into a full-length book quite successfully and I, for one, would be delighted to buy it.
