Living with a Human-Like Cyborg

Losing someone you love is the hardest thing in the world to deal with. It’s a kind of pain that you physically and emotionally feel all over your body and that grief seems so endless. Sharon Pepper’s science-fiction novel “Jeremy Q. Taylor and the Cyborg in the Cellar” takes place in the future, a tale of a sixteen-year-old boy who experiences a sudden change and sorrow upon losing her mother. His father, who witnessed this despair going through by his son, has surprised him with a brother, a cyborg name Addison, who looks like an 18th-year-old boy and well serves as Jeremy’s older brother.

Addison is not just a cyborg; he is almost perfect in every way. His presence alleviates the agony experienced by Jeremy. He feels attached to Addison. Jeremy is again able to show love and compassion, as what his dad wants for him. The invention and design of this particular Cyborg, Addison, help Jeremy and his family explore love, camaraderie, envy, loyalty, personal qualities and value, good defeating evil, the parent-child bond. But there is a plan that the mass-produce cyborg is to be sold to a robotics company. Things get complicated. The possibility of abducting cyborgs creates fear and anger in those who have grown to love Addison.

Sharon Pepper’s understanding of the future is so clear that she can relate this story to readers of all ages. “I think there may be moral dilemmas in the future around robots, clones, cyborgs, and synthetic beings. Will some be treated the same way as humans? Why? What is it that makes us human? Is it our DNA, or do we have something more, a soul, perhaps?

“I wanted to write a book that explores what it means to be human. The book is set around 2035 in Gilroy. Our kids will probably face some exciting challenges around these questions,” the author said.|

“Jeremy Q. Taylor and the Cyborg in the Cellar” is a fun and adventurous story of a teenager and his cyborg brother, Addison.
