Thank you for sharing my essay which was so much fun to write & the subject of which (to your point) has been bouncing around in my head for *years.* But also your Plum Rains reminds of Klara and the Sun (robot friend, etc etc), by Ishiguro.From the POV of the robot, which hmm. Such good advice here: a friend of mine is a swimmer and he always says "gotta swim your own race," which is such simple advice and so hard, too. Your comment that gestation shouldn't become stasis is really wise: the desire to just polish and re-polish that one precious section... rather than *moving on* and moving through. Onward.
