I burned. Trapped within my searing skin. I do not feel as humans do, but it hurt. It hurt.

One sentence just isn’t enough! PLEASE give me a longer synopsis!

Well, okay, but ONLY for the novelization!

SARA might be the killer, but she’s not the only one on trial.

Celia, a robots’ rights activist and attorney, knows that SARA’s case will have legal and social ramifications for robots everywhere…including herself. Though living as a human, Celia can never forget that she is a machine, her own autonomy suspect.

Her connections to the case don’t end there.

When SARA flees custody after her child’s disappearance, Celia must make a choice. Does she pursue justice the legal way, by turning SARA over to the police, or the human way, by helping a mother rescue her daughter?

Lemon Squares in All Dimensions is a bitingly feminist critique of the misogynistic power structures we’re all programmed to obey. It’s also a celebration of atypical womanhood and the strength to be found in solidarity.

What limits your autonomy?
