The Replica

by Ferro Gabro

To replace that which you have lost with a replica can have some advantages, but also several disadvantages, especially when technology creates an illusion that becomes more real than accepted reality.

Couple of odd spelling errors. Chord vs cord.

The story was alright, but the sex scenes made me feel awkward because Julia was so forthright with them. It's just her character, I know, but it still was weird.

The confrontation between Julia, replica and the boy was a bit...forced.

Otherwise, a really quick read, interesting concept.

Was confused at first. I felt like it ended just as I got interested.

A short story about a man who replaces his ex girlfriend with a replica robot. I enjoyed it, I was able to read it on two quick bus trips, and on the homeward bound journey almost missed my stop as I read the climax. It would have been cool if Julia had also replaced the protagonist with a robot, as he stated they both treated each other poorly

Interesting concept and some thought provoking sections but overall not an inspiring read and in my opinion written in a fairly basic style.

The real thing

An interesting concept that will, one day soon, be addressed by society. Replete wide rights, regulation, and controversy, our robotic future awaits.
