Martin L. Shoemaker discusses Today I Am Carey, his debut science fiction novel about a caretaker robot who takes care of an Alzheimer's patient and becomes part of the family, which leads to the development of sentience—and true empathy and caring in him and others. It's a beautiful tale and Shoemaker talks about its origins, themes, and characters; and Son of the Black Sword by Larry Correia, Part 33.
