She masks her inability to follow the Three Decrees. She masks her faulty programming from all the other robots. She hides her emotions, errors, and opinions from The Authority. And most of all, though she doesn’t know it, she is hidden from herself. But more difficult than any of the plethora of masks she maintains is that she is completely and utterly alone.

Hopefully, this book will serve as a reminder that we all have so much to be thankful for.
