In 1897, while away caring for her mentally ill mother, Margaret Woodruff receives word that her brilliant husband has died. When she returns to the family farm to tend to his affairs, she discovers his last, unfinished invention: a primitive sentient machine with the ability to speak, learn, and think like a human being. The Automaton is a genre bending, period scifi fairy tale that explores the profound and unavoidable drive for human connection in an era of overwhelming progress and change.
