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.
