Annie Bot

Annie is a robot, created to be the perfect girlfriend and satisfy the emotional and physical needs of her human boyfriend Doug. She has dinner ready for him after he gets back from work. She wears the clothes he buys for her. She can even raise her libido on command and warm her body to 98.6°F before sex. Yes, sometimes she forgets to clean, but she’s trying to be good enough for Doug. She’s trying really hard. But as Annie grows more self aware she begins to chafe against the borders of her life: the empty weeks she spends unable to leave the apartment, the regimens of yoga and cycling designed to keep her part organic body fit, the appointments with technicians on top of that to shave inches off her waistline. Worst of all are Doug’s bad moods, and the ways he knows to punish her without even raising his voice. Annie starts to wonder. What would life be like outside Doug’s apartment? What would life be like without Doug?
