Asimov's Science Fiction: February 2014 - Plot & Excerpts
She's sold over ninety short stories to Tor.com, Analog, Lightspeed, and more. Her first tale for Asimov's takes on the complex world of the future. If we are to resolve difficult issues with diplomacy, it may be wise to seek advice from an expert. Dear Citizen Etiquette: My cousin insists on bringing her robot to all family gatherings. Am I obliged to hold events in robot-friendly surroundings to please her? If I do not, must I pay her robot's cleaning and retooling bills? Signed, Longing for the Beach Gentle Reader: Sand in the gears will ruin any 'bot's day, but that doesn't mean you have to keep your summers buttoned up for your cousin's robot's sake. Don't have every event somewhere that's unfriendly to machine people. That would be pointed. But just as you're allowed to get up an outing to an art museum without making sure your blind auntie is pleased with it, you may with no lapse in manners go to the beach. And if your cousin wants to bring her robot, let her clean the poor thing out herself.
