Description

Knit robots, build spaceships, and shape the future.

If necessity is the mother of invention, what exciting AI might come to exist in the hands of a more diverse range of innovators?

Mother of Invention brings genuine revolution to the way artificial intelligence stories are told, and how they intersect with gender identity, parenthood, sexuality, war, and the future of our species.

Explore extraordinary, diverse short stories challenging gender, artificial intelligence and the art of building something new.

"All of the familiar tropes of mad science and the creation of artificial life get turned on their heads in the most gloriously feminist way in Mother of Invention. It turns out when the person who's playing God is female, the story suddenly gets a lot more interesting." -- Charlie Jane Anders
