Critical Praise for Love Machines
"…[Dear Machines] ably deconstructs the romance of the by and the romance of the future without destroying them. Instead, it revels in these impulses even equally it shows them for what they really are: a reflection of what is, who nosotros are, and what we promise may be. This is a clever comic anthology, calorie-free on tech pundit doomsaying, heavy on sweetness, for the tech-loving romantic at heart."
Megan Purdy, Comics Alliance
"The stories never take the conventional route. Their inventiveness, heart and lack of cynicism reveal in trujillo and his collaborators a searching thoughtfulness and genuiness humanism. And though engineering is always a part of the story, information technology'southward almost never the point. It'southward the people themselves, their times, their needs and their passions that take center phase."
Joshua Dysart, writer of Harbringer
"Josh'south machines have as much soul as their homo counterparts. Whether something as familiar as a wheel, intimidating equally an iron lung or obscure as a Sandy Andy, each bring out surprising and very real moments inside these carefully crafted vignettes."
Ed Luce, creator of Wuvable Oaf
"Dear Machines has a running technological theme, but at its heart lies the sadness and dazzler of humanity. The varies and gorgeous artwork, paired with Trujillo'south brilliant and sensitive writing, brand each story worthy of multiple, careful reads."
MariNaomi, writer of Turning Japanese
