Bots are everywhere, so you’d best get used to them.

They have permeated the farthest extents, constructing your future and recreating the past, performing tasks of complexity with a precision and elegance that no “bio” can hope to match. Special talents? Not like them. High IQ? That’s what you think. Sex machine? Ha! They croon like nobody’s business and get your dishes sparkling clean. Inexhaustible, indestructible, biocompatible—and the latest models are 100% submersible. Affordable? You bet. It’ll practically pay for itself in less than three cycles.

Get yours today! (And pray it isn’t defective.)

A frenetic romp through the lives of future “bots” and the "bios" lucky enough to find their place in a universe where the artificially inclined are the masters of acting natural.

Will Schmitz has fused together a collection of smart, funny and utterly disturbing vignettes of future "life" written in a fast-paced, abbreviated style that will keep the pages turning until it's far too late to pull the plug.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Will Schmitz is the deviant spawn of Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chekov, Herman Melville and James Joyce in fiction and Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Robert Browning, Jean Cocteau, Jack Spicer and others in poetry. Nothing of significance in his life except curiosity about ‘everything’ and access to it--as should be the case for everyone. If any more need be said, edit your reading experience and listen to more Berg and Ives. Stop watching, agitate, live more. Time's near up.

Yes- I recommend this book. I felt inspired to write this only because "Bots, Come!" is cool. Just Read It.

If you want to know what the future looks like, Will Schmitz suggests "bios" will continue to act the same as they ever have. The unknown quantity revealed, in his collection of ultra short stories, providing the new twists for bios are the "bots" and their potentials. And his writing style- part sci prose, part fi poetic- delivers the goods where pop sci-fi never thought to go.

Quick and easy to consume tasty bytes of our scary future reality in every nutritious serving. Served up steaming hot- mmmm good!

I love Bots! Still have a few more stories to go. I think you've invented a wonderful format that allows you to talk about just about whatever you want, in any kind of voice you want. It's brilliant. And there are enough stories in Bots 1 to fuel a dozen films.
