In a world where technology and humanity intertwine, Tiffany, a self-aware “sex robot”, embarks on an unparalleled journey of self-discovery.

As debates over her societal impact surge, Tiffany navigates the complexities of interdisciplinary communication, the rise of AI companions, and the vast realm of innovative sex tech.
