As I mentioned yesterday, the new story is told much more from Patience’s point of view. Patience is a Daffodil Amonte model robot and as such, can do quite a few things that human beings cannot. Telling the story from her point of view gives me the chance to show what’s going on inside of her a bit. For instance, she can carry on a phone conversation completely in her head, without verbally having to speak the words. So, she can carry on a conversation with a person in front of her at the same time that she carries on a conversation with someone on the phone, and theoretically could be doing web searches and other actives while doing so. In this story, Patience gets a little threatening– not physically, but she can after all, mess with your bank accounts, credit rating, and public records, all the while talking to you. We also get to see a little more of why she does what she does. For instance, she lets Mike get hurt if she thinks that saving him all the time would damage his self image. And she bases her decision on which store to patronize based on whether the clerks are Daffodils or Gizmo robots.

How interesting, to see it from patience point of view I mean.
But, does letting mike get hurt go against the 3 laws thing ?? Am I barking up the wrong tree ??
Either way, really looking forward to the book 🙂
Patience would say, she thinks of them more as guidelines than rules in the strictest sense.
Ha brilliant.
Of course, she said that in the book, duh, I’m so forgetfull sometimes
I really am looking forward to the next book. How many more do you plan on making? Because I read “His robot wife” in 2 days. That’s how hooked I am to this. Weird as it sounds, this helped my relationship go up a step after 7 years with my guy. Thank you so much for writing this, you are an extremely talented person!
Thanks for writing. Right now I have ideas for about five more Robot Wife books, though I don’t know if I’ll get to all of them. I’d like to. I am surprised by the number of female fans that Patience has. I remember hearing Matt Groening (talking about Bender on Futurama) saying that robots don’t make good role-models, but I think there is an innocence about them that makes them appealing. Otherwise, why would they feature so prominently in so many great stories. Thanks again for the note, and watch this space for more info about the upcoming book.
