About This Book

A stranded pilot lands on an unexpectedly idyllic planet whose engineered landscape and controlled weather conceal a deeper oddity: its inhabitants resemble idealized humans but are constructed of metal. He is welcomed into a spotless, domestic household by a glamorous, seemingly maternal figure whose beauty and hospitality mask an uncanny hardness. As he rests and recovers, his initial relief gives way to mounting unease at the tension between bucolic perfection and mechanical artifice, raising questions about appearance, loneliness, and the unsettling limits of comfort.
