His Robot Girlfriend – Characters
His Robot Girlfriend is a simple story from a character standpoint because it has only two main characters– the robot and the robot’s boyfriend. Mike, the robot’s boyfriend, is as close to me as I have ever written, though he isn’t quite me. He’s near my age and he is a teacher like me. He likes science fiction as I do. It’s rather easy to fall into making him mirror myself, so I have conciously added some traits which I do not share. The robot, Patience, is essentially the perfect fantasy woman, so all I have to do is match her actions with what a man, in this case Mike, would want a woman to do in that circumstance. In other words, she gets to be lover, child, mother, nurse, friend, and confidant.
His Robot Girlfriend – Setting
My next novel, His Robot Girlfriend, is a fairly straight forward science fiction story. It takes place in a fictional southern California town, although the characters make trips to LA, Vegas, and other places. I wanted to place it far enough in the future that robots might be common, but near enough that things would still feel familiar. I decided on the year 2032, which is great because it would be an election year and an Olympic year, so I can play with little things that happen this year, tweaking them to make the fit my ideas. I looked up 2032 on the internet, found a calendar for the year, and there you go. I also used the internet to research floor plans for houses that I could use.
His Robot Girlfriend
My new novel is “His Robot Girlfriend”. I am almost done with the first draft. It takes place in the year 2038 when robots are common and is about a man who buys a robot girlfriend. I think it’s a bit of a different take on robots than has been done before.
P.S. The robot doesn’t look like this.
