3 stars
A set of short fiction, set in a time in a far future where humans have become mythical in a world populated by mechanical beings. The beings are 'haunted' by the idea that humans might have had children and, via the workings of a 'god', set out to recreate children, as well as tell stories (disturbing stories) about how children might come into being or how humans might have treated children.
