Robot Poetry Club

In Michael Albrecht’s Robot Poetry Club, After the extraordinarily wrong execution of a CompSci 101 assignment, a computer gains sentience! When Jillian (that’s the computer) heads off on a journey of self-discovery, they will discover a lot of what society expects of you has nothing to do with whether trees make a good metaphor in poetry. Michael’s black-and-white art has a sculptural feel to it until we are treated to an original poem by Bryce Baron-Sips, and the art becomes more painterly. If you’re into computers with feelings, pick up this love letter to robot fiction.
