CALLING ALL ROBOTS - ANROID AND CARING

With the BBC’s Ann Droid launching this week, it’s fascinating to see robot carers beccoming mainstream television. Whe I wrote The Laughing Robot. I was alreday asking many of the same questions: Can technology replace companionship? What do older people really need and wnat? And where does humour fit into all of this? If you’re watching the new series, you might enjoy comparing it with the themes in my novel. Let me know what you think ?
