Lunar Logic by Adeena Mignogna

On the vacuum surface of the moon, life for Ai-dan and a cohort of moon-dwelling androids is anything but a lunar wasteland of boredom. They spend their days maintaining lunar data centers with a quaint blue-green, and sometimes whitish, orb hanging in the sky. Between playing games and spirited debates on the meaning of the shimmering orb, the robots' existence is near idyllic.

But when a malfunctioning system leads Ai-dan to stumble upon a mysterious box and then a soft-bodied android—total lunar oddities—the harmony of their world gets tossed into disarray. As they dig deeper into these enigmatic discoveries, Ai-dan and their friends must reboot their understanding of existence—risking a crash in their carefully crafted, pre-programmed worldviews.

Join Ai-dan, Ai-ko, Ai-mory and the rest as they toggle through an unusual adventure to uncover the hidden secrets of their life on the moon, and in the process, learn what it means to be and have free will. Will Ai-dan be able to integrate answers into their programming, or will their quest lead to yet another 'factory reset'? The fate of their lunar logic hangs in the balance!
