[AMBASSADOR PICK] [SHORTLISTED #ONC 2020]

BLADE RUNNER + I, ROBOT

Decorated detective Gibson Shaw must work an AI mutilation case that's beneath him. The claw-like wounds of the AI mimic its ownership tattoo of a cat, but he dismisses that as coincidence. When more AI bodies litter Nova City with the same modus operandi, Shaw must bring the world's first serial killer of AI to justice before the killer targets humans, all without falling for his rookie partner.

Tattoo artist Nate Dough has always sensed the sorrow in others. By using drug-laced ink to alter his clients' moods, he creates happiness one tatt at a time. Except, it's the clients' AI showing emotion. When he discovers the mutilated AI are ones he tatted, he's dragged into an investigation that reveals more about himself than he ever imagined.

It's only when Shaw and Dough's worlds collide that the clues point to the real culprit.

#32. Ever since you were little, you've been able to see people's sorrow like a cloud hanging over their heads. Now it's coming in pretty handy in your job.

Trigger warning: sex, a little violence, murder, drug abuse, infidelity, chauvinism.
