Classic Twilight Zone Meets a Modern Need for Human Connection as Seen Through an Android’s Eyes By Chris P In the classic Twilight Zone episode “The Lonely,” Corry — a criminal exiled, alone, to a planet and only occasionally visited by his guards — falls in love with a robot, Alicia. She’s delivered as a gift for Corry by one of the guards who feels sorry for him. When Corry is pardoned, he wants to take Alicia with him, but there’s not enough room on the ship. So, to rid Corry of his desire to take her with them, one of the guards shoots her, and they leave her on the ground of the barren planet as she repeats, “Corry, Corry.”The episode calls into question what we, as humans, can bring ourselves to love and under what circumstances. Corry falls in love with Alicia when he realizes she’s more than the sum total of her circuits. In “I, Caroline,” David Bruns masterfully revisits this theme—from the android’s perspective.A ship crashes and over time, one by one, its human occupants die. Caroline is the android attached to the group. As the unfriendly planet claims each of the crew, Caroline bears witness to their deaths. Yet, she survives. Over time, her evolution from circuited servant to a feeling, humanoid creature is an affecting journey through our own sense of what makes us human beings. As Bruns describes it: “Before the accident, I was Caretaker 176, with duties to tend the crew of the Ranger while they were in deep space stasis. After the accident, I became Caroline, and I felt the loneliness, and the loss of our dead crew, and the passage of time just as keenly as they did.”Caroline begins to learn, assimilate, and adapt as we might expect an android to do; only, she’s learning from her human companions what it means to *be human*. For example, at the knee of a child fond of knock-knock jokes, Caroline begins to understand the concept of humor. I won’t go into more plot details so as to avoid spoilers.Through his narrative—told in first person from Caroline’s perspective—Bruns shows us Caroline’s analytical appreciation for her own development as she learns to deal with the evolution of emotion within herself. That is, we see Caroline grow as she explains to herself (and the reader) how she learns to interact emotionally with the world around her; how we engage through feeling (and love) with those whom we hold most dear. And how sometimes joyous—and tragically heartbreaking—that experience can be.Bruns follows in the tradition of great sci-fi like The Twilight Zone and Star Trek by showing us the outsider’s perspective on the human condition. He shows us that – though we might wish to be able to feel nothing in our darkest hours of emotional pain – being human is, after all, a more desirable fate than not being able to feel anything at all. And something a lonely android might even aspire to.I was provided an advanced copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

I am certain you will enjoy it immensel By Melissa Olson I started reading I, Caroline last night before I went to bed. I usually knock out a chapter each night in some book or another before I am overcome by sleep. But last night, I finished the short story and I felt as if I needed more. I was completely caught up in the characters and I wanted to know their whole story - everything about them.I'm hopeful David Bruns expands on this particular story because it was truly excellent.I am certain you will enjoy it immensely.
