Love this!

Critics are giving Automatic Noodle a lot of stars! You can pre-order this tasty treat, and even get a signed copy from Noe Valley Books or Green Apple! Coming 8/5! www.automaticnoodle.website/buy-book
Newitz's new novella takes its dystopian, post-apocalyptic San Francisco setting, which manages to poke hard at the toxic anonymity of internet culture along with the human propensity for demonizing the other, and turns it into a story of hope and community fostered by a team of rogue food service robots in search of purpose, self-sufficiency, good food, and a clever way of sticking it to "the man," whether human or AI. -- LIbrary Journal, starred review This sweet, heart (and stomach) warming novella is a certified cozy read, rich with meaning for queer readers, enjoyably familiar to San Francisco lovers. Newitz has gifted readers with a hopeful, post-apocalyptic found-family tale. -- Booklist, starred review Newitz packs this take with simmering action, endearing characters, and political savvy, topping it all off with generous dollops of humor and imagination. It's delicious. -- Publisher's Weekly, starred review

What if Heracles refused to harm the monsters he was pitted against, and instead started adopting them into a found family?

If that question excites you, I've got a grand new book just for you!

MY MONSTER JUST WON A NEBULA AWARD

"Thank you" feels too small, but thank you to everyone who has supported this weird, little book.

To everybody who it made feel a little less alone? Remember: we all belong.
