About this product

Product Information

Blending pop culture iconography with the existential threat of technological creations turning on their creators, Emotional Robots is a compulsively readable graphic novella set in an all-too presciently depicted world in which advanced robots successfully compete with humans--in sports, music, and art--in pursuit of emotional intelligence. Displaced by the robots' technological triumph, humans abandon Earth in search of a new planet to call home. But what happens to the robots when newer, faster, smarter, better robots replace them? What happens when civil unrest grows between robot generations? An astute take on the human condition and the illusory promises of technology, Emotional Robots is captivating fable for the modern age. With keen wit and dark humor, it artfully tackles universal themes urgently relevant to our time, asking readers the question faced by each new generation of humans (and robots): Is history condemned to repeat itself?

Reviews

"Is there such a thing as too much progress? Sometimes we are more preoccupied with the question of 'if' we can do something, we don't think about if we 'should.' Such is the case in Emotional Robots: A Question of Existence, when the very robots that replace us may find themselves replaced." - The Big Idea Blog,, "This futuristic fable gives a quirky twist to the science-fiction trope of humans creating sentient beings only to suffer unintended consequences....Moralistic without moralizing, it's a comedic if somewhat lightweight thought experiment, which could be equally appreciated by children and adults." - Publishers Weekly, ""Is there such a thing as too much progress? Sometimes we are more preoccupied with the question of 'if' we can do something, we don't think about if we 'should.' Such is the case in Emotional Robots: A Question of Existence, when the very robots that replace us may find themselves replaced." - The Big Idea Blog, ", "In a wildly hilarious story of existence, Emotional Robots does an excellent job of juxtaposing humanity with technology and its ever-changing innovation. With just the right amount of irony, writers Zohar, Fass and Richardson create a strangely parallel world in which robots rule, and yet somehow, they too experience the same existential dilemmas, joys, and sorrows that the obsolete humans once felt. With its subtle humor and witty illustrations that are nuanced with dozens of cultural references, Emotional Robots poses existential questions, ripe for the current human condition all by way of a storybook. We recently sat down with the writers to discuss the inspiration for the book and how it came about." - Flaunt, ""I was lucky enough to read an advance copy and I'm totally in love with this book. A biting satire tackling our obsession with progress, blended with some real empathy for the human condition. The artwork builds a world full of astute detail and fun surprises. There's a ton of little easter eggs that reward a close look. This is a book I'll put on display." - Andrew Barrer, co-writer Ant-Man and The Wasp and author of the Young Blood Trilogy, ", "If you like 'before and after' reveals (and who doesn't), Sketch Finish is an absolute treat. Side-by-side images of Glaser's early sketches and final art show not only the transformation of each work but also hint at the thinking and decisions Glaser might have had along the way. It's like getting a behind-the-scenes studio tour from one of the greatest illustrator-designers of our time." - CreativePro,, ""In a wildly hilarious story of existence, Emotional Robots does an excellent job of juxtaposing humanity with technology and its ever-changing innovation.
