Unabridged The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is the heartbreaking story of the journey from childhood to adulthood, with an intriguing science fictional twist. There’s never been anyone - or anything - quite like Finn. He looks, and acts human, though he has no desire to be. He was programmed to assist his owners, and performs his duties to perfection. A billion-dollar construct, his primary task is to tutor Cat. The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is set against a sweltering future Texas, years after the ruination of much of the landscape by war, disease, and ecological disaster. Automatons are widely used butt they certainly don’t have rights. The Automaton Defense Fund is devoted to securing rights for robots that have achieved sentience, but until that happens, what is between Cat and Finn is forbidden. When the government grants rights to the ever-increasing robot population, however, Finn struggles to find his place in the world and Finn makes a decision that will tragically alter Cat’s world, possibly forever.
