Mono Mars 0

In the ruins of Nexapolis — a megacity humanity has abandoned to the rain and rust — a defective robot named Mono wakes in a junkyard with no memory, no name, and no idea why he was thrown away. Built as the prototype for humanity's last hope, discarded as a failure, Mono begins to walk through the dead city. Without knowing where. Without knowing why. Along the way, he finds a rusted dog-walking robot still searching for a lost companion, a blue mouse who refuses to leave his shoulder, and a girl in a wheelchair who sees not a machine, but someone who needed a friend. But behind it all, something is hunting him — because deep inside Mono's broken chassis is a key that could determine the fate of what remains of humanity. A literary sci-fi novel about imperfect beings finding meaning in a world that demands perfection.
