Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz (2025), 163 pages
There
is a lot to unpack in this short book. It is hard to even know where to begin,
but I very much enjoyed the concept. A group of restaurant service robots in
the not-so-distant future find themselves abandoned by their owners. They
decide to take their future into their own hands and re-open the restaurant,
but with better food. And they succeed! Except, as in real-life, there are
those who want to spoil a good thing through their own xenophobia and biases.
This is a thought-provoking look into the future of technology while also
touching upon current day issues of immigration, economics, and resilience.
