Robots, Empathy, and Asian 'Comfort Women' History in Plum Rains (2018)

This talk will examine Andromeda Romano-Lax's novel, Plum Rains (2018). With a mixture of dystopian critique and surprisingly hopeful attitudes, the novel considers how a new generation of robots might offer us a much-needed lesson in how to be both human and humane. This hybrid event can be attended in person or online.
