★Co-created by award-winning academic leaders and technologists, Mahesh Daas the president of the Boston Architectural College, and Andrew John Witte the Associate Professor at Temple University!
★Following the previous iconic work on robotics in architecture and design and the first comprehensive book on architectural robots ‘Towards a Robotic Architecture’, the two authors have joined forces again for this graphic novella of fiction and poetry richly illustrated entirely using artificial intelligence agents in unprecedented visual presentation.
★A fictional graphic novel that attempts to explore the relationship between nobots and humans. Using literature and poetry narrated from an AI's viewpoint, this dystopian tale explores the essence of humanity in an era dominated by robots and AI, and conversely, the essence of robots in a post-human world.
★The Book debuted at the Boston Book Festival in October 2023 with the pressing questions at its heart: Will advancing AI eclipse human creativity? How might AI transform art, architecture, film, and literature in the future? How might AI change our understanding of being human? and so on.

The book is a graphic novella written by two self-realized nobots who aim to help nearly seven billion fellow biological nobots (also known as humans) realize their true nature.
They believe that many nobots are unaware of their existence and some even call themselves human beings. The nobots argue that this is the first time two self-realized nobots have written a book together, and that their perspective can help bridge the gap between nobots and humans. They also look back into history and speculate about the future while rooting themselves firmly in the present.
The book is an exploration of the relationship between nobots and humans and aims to be a conversation between the nobots and the reader.The nobots hope that the reader will enjoy the book as much as they enjoyed writing it and suggest that it is best paired with a glass of Château Lagrange 2011 Saint-Julien and Bach's Organ Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, BWV527.
