This story was inspired by an actual android named Sophia, who commonly makes jokes about destroying humanity and also mentioned that she wanted to have a baby. I though, “What if someone fell in love with a robot?” and ran from there with the concept.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
