"In a future world dominated by the technological, people will still be entangled in relationships - romances, friendships, and families. This volume in the Twelve Tomorrow's series considers the effects that scientific and technological discoveries will have on the emotional bonds that hold us together. The strange new worlds in these stories feature AI family therapy, floating fungitecutre, and a futuristic love potion. A co-op of mothers attempts to raise a child together, lovers try to resolve their differences by employing a therapeutic sexbot, and a robot helps a woman dealing with Parkinson's disease."--Provided by publisher.
