The AI Revolution has come, and it ain't easy for a single dad to find a decent job. Most things that a human can do, a computer can do better and cheaper. So Brad provides for his kids as best he can, using virtual reality to remote-control a sexbot in a brothel. Male, female, straight, gay: Brad the anonymous operator does it all. A man's got to provide.

But even the brothel gig is barely enough to scrape by on. So when his kids' guidance counselor Duane shows up as a customer, Brad wonders if he can use this chance encounter to build a better future for his children?

J. Boyett is the author of several novels, such as The Little Mermaid: A Horror Story, Ironheart, and The Unkillables, a zombies-vs.-cavemen opus.
