Blurb
Ro (alias: Moonchild) is a transvestite sex worker in a parallel reality Berlin where jobs are scarce and it's getting increasingly difficult to make ends meet as artificially intelligent robots have been replacing humans in disparate fields of work. Most recently, a bill was passed mandating the replacement of all human sex workers with the their robotic counterparts. To top it all off, Moonchild's boyfriend has just left him. Effectively unemployed and newly single, his sadness turns to anger.
Someone has to pay.
This story follows Moonchild as he comes to terms with his apparent irrelevance and is forced to reflect on what it means to be human in a world which seems slowly to be going insane.
