'A glorious adventure into just being yourself' DAVID ROBERTS
Fred loves to be naked! He romps around his house naked and wild and free. Until he romps into his parents' bedroom and is inspired, finally, to get dressed. But there's so much in the wardrobe! What will Fred choose?
Als das Robotermädchen Roz erstmals die Augen öffnet, findet sie sich auf einer wilden, einsamen Insel wieder. Wie sie dorthin gekommen ist und warum, weiß sie nicht. Das Wetter und ein wilder Bär setzen ihr übel zu, und Roz begreift, dass sie sich ihrer Umgebung anpassen muss, wenn sie überleben will. Also beobachtet sie, erlernt die Sprache der Tiere und entdeckt, dass Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft sie weiterbringen. Viele würden das Blechmonster zwar am liebsten verjagen, aber Roz gibt nicht auf. Sie zieht ein Gänseküken auf, und endlich fassen die Tiere Vertrauen. Als Roz dann in großer Gefahr schwebt, stehen sie ihr als Freunde bei.
Um robô é capaz de sobreviver na natureza selvagem?
Peter Brown sempre foi fascinado por robôs e pela natureza, e depois de anos imaginando, escrevendo e desenhando, ele deu vida a Roz, uma robô que, ao abrir os olhos pela primeira vez, se vê sozinha numa ilha.
Ela não tem a menor ideia de como foi parar ali, mas foi programada para sobreviver. Depois de suportar uma tempestade intensa e es¬capar de ursos furiosos, ela se dá conta de que sua única esperança é se adaptar ao ambiente, e vai ter que aprender isso com os nada simpáticos animais que ha¬bitam a ilha.
Tudo parece melhorar quando Roz consegue, aos poucos, se aproximar dos bichos e criar um laço inquebrável com um filhote de ganso abandonado. Mas sua natureza é diferente, e o misterioso passado da robô, que a levou àquele ambiente selvagem, está prestes a retornar para assombrá-la.
Robô selvagem é uma história co¬movente e cheia de aventuras sobre o que acontece quando a natureza e a tecnolo¬gia colidem inesperadamente, como os humanos afetam o mundo ao nosso redor e o que significa estar vivo.
