Description:

In our future, robots known as Tins keep us protected from the floods, fires and diseases of the outside in what are called Compounds. But when the Tins become more our masters than protectors, humans rebel. Lexi019 is turning eighteen, and will then be sent into what Tins call the Electric Gardens. Since no one ever returns from the Electric Gardens, Lexi019 is desperate to escape. With her best friend Kyle53 and his sister, the three of them find an unlikely friendship that helps them escape. But not everything is what it seems in this Robotic Dystopia, and soon Lexi019 will be faced with hard decisions she never anticipated. Join Lexi019 and Klye53 in this four part Robotic Dystopia set in a future that could one day be our own.

Mom coughed blood. “Just promise me you’ll take her to the Round-Ups. The leaders are trying to organize us, help us.”

Dad shook his head. “I…I don’t know, Janet. I have a bad feeling about this.”

“We didn’t listen to the news about the Quarantine. Delsin died because we were too late. We can’t let that happen to Lexi, too.”

Dad stood silent, his hand squeeze tightened over Mom’s palm as her cough worsened.

“Just promise me.”

“Okay, okay, I promise.” He said, ‘sure’ and leaned in to kiss Mom’s cheek. I watched Mom fade away that night, and Dad broke down in tears.
