Summaries

  • Laura Hawkins begins to suspect there's something unusual about their family 'Synth' Anita.
  • In the near future synths - synthetic humans - are robots who resemble people in every way beyond having emotions and are seen as an ideal workforce. Joe Hawkins buys one to help his busy wife Laura with their children and they call her Anita. She is a model of efficiency and little daughter Sophie loves her though the elder girl Matty is jealous of her and soon Laura starts to find her creepy. They are unaware that Anita is one of three synths with the potential to develop human feelings who are being tracked by a man called Leo with his synth Max after they were abducted. One, Niska, is now a sex worker whilst Fred is being examined for his human qualities. Elsewhere elderly widower George Millican seeks to protect Odi, the synth who has become like a son to him after Odi malfunctions in a store and George is ordered to dispose of him.—don @ minifie-1
  • Fed up with the amount of work at home, Joe Hawkins decides to buy a Synth, a human-like robot to help with the housework. His wife Laura is stuck out of town pleading a client's case and isn't too keen when she returns home to find the attractive robot, who they name Anita, in residence. Since the creation of these human-looking machines, they have taken over many of the menial tasks many would not wish to do. What only a very few people know is that their creator also made a very few sentient robots capable of emotions and independent thought. Several have escaped but Anita is one of those who has been captured and reprogrammed.—garykmcd
