Anna, a recently widowed social worker, is not about to let grief, betrayal, or even a few pesky robots slow her down. When an experimental robot companionship program draws her into a high-tech mystery on the Isle of Wight, Anna must navigate a tangled web of corporate interests, government schemes, her children’s desires, and her own complicated feelings about aging and autonomy.

When the island is transformed into ‘Home Farm’ - a ‘haven’ for seniors complete with mandatory robotic caregivers - Anna begins to realize that she’s involved in something much bigger than she at first imagined.

Poignant and funny in equal measure, The Laughing Robot is a thought-provoking exploration of the future of aging and what it means to be human in a world where the line between people and machines is becoming blurrier than ever. Join Anna on an unforgettable journey that will make you ponder the big questions of love, life, family, and artificial intelligence.
