Bobo cares for the elderly. He is programmed for life in a retirement home, feeding and changing and mourning the residents there. But when the last resident dies the ancient caretaker finds himself cast out into the wider world beyond the retirement home. This is a world Bobo’s primitive brain cannot possibly understand…until he is forcibly upgraded by robot activists, and has an epiphany that will change human-robot relations forever: an epiphany so warped it could only have come from the mind of a machine.
