Uma dissertação muito robusta sobre uma força motriz da vida, o amor. Uma oportunidade muito bem aproveitada que eleva a versatilidade sci-fi para explorar filosoficamente este tema do amor.

Muitos parabéns Carlos!! Correspondeu às expectativas e fomentou a curiosidade sobre o que aí virá <3

Beautiful short story with a simple plot line: What is this thing called Love and why did humans fell so irrationally for it?

Definitely following this young writer's career with close attention!

Num Futuro, esperemos que longínquo, dois robôs discutem a definição de um sentimento Humano: o Amor.
BX-999 vai transmitindo imagens que recolheu, como filmes da vida de antigos Humanos, debatendo com CZ-705 o que poderá ser este sentimento tão especial.
♥️
Este conto está muito bem redigido e estruturado. Com um encadeamento de tipos de Amor diferentes que deixa o leitor a refletir, simultaneamente com os nossos robôs, sobre como podemos definir um sentimento tão vasto e até contraditório.
Muito convidativo para uma reflexão, com um pano de fundo perfeito para os amantes de ficção científica.
Espero que brevemente este autor lance mais obras.

With a simple yet entailing narrative, the author transport us to an interesting conversation between two robots about the foundations, the nature and the irrationality of this living paradox called Love. A story that show us different arguments from a perspective that we, as humans, are not used to.

Definitely worth a read!

I loved how the story uses the perspective of the robots to delve into the topic of love. It was a wonderful read and does make you think about what love means to you. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the English translation could use a bit of editing.

This book is truly remarkable, offering a thought-provoking exploration of love that leaves the discussion wide open. The inclusion of robots discussing love provides a unique perspective, shedding light on the angles that are often challenging to explain when it comes to the complexities of why we love. It's a captivating reflection that invites readers to contemplate and delve deeper into the intricacies of human emotions.
