Such an adorably fun story. ( )

This short story is short listed for Hugo Awards. A nice SF story with nostalgia feel, a clear homage for the 50s. A sentient robot, built in 1954 become engaged in modern fandom ( )

[Fandom for Robots](https://uncannymagazine.com/article/fandom-for-robots/) is a charming humorous story about the only existing sentient robot (bulky out-of-date thing from the 50s) finds anime and fanfiction. Fluffy, funny, but sadly a bit inconsequential. ( )

This story is excellent and I like it so much! The robot protagonist is funny and sympathetic, the fandom depictions are spot on, and the fictional anime sounds amazing. I would definitely watch this show (which btw has a trans protagonist? awesome!) if it existed. The story reminds me a bit of Murderbot, and a bit of some of the stories in [Robot Uprisings] about lonely semi-obsolete robots. ( )
