It gives me great pleasure to announce that the EP panel have awarded my nomination for this amazing story, Future Imperfect by GreyMatter.
With echoes of Alex Garland's work (especially the brilliant Ex Machina), this thought provoking and hot blend of erotica, machinery and humanity explores the relationship between an android and its owner as they come to terms with their union.
It's an absolute masterpiece. Even if you normally skip Sci-Fi, please give this a read because it's so much more than mere erotica in space.
Congratulations on the award. Thoroughly well deserved.
Future Imperfect
