Tormented by the kitchen appliances and harassed by the house, Robbie the house bot has done a bad thing. His owners send him to robot therapy where he meets Omo, a laundry bot who wants to fold the world, and Dex, a depressed disaster bot. Robbie will learn that in his world many things are not as they seem, including not just his new friends, but also Robbie himself. Robbie escapes from his cleaning cupboard, and finds a new role for himself as the entertainments manager of the robot uprising. Along the way he meets new people including Eric, the leader of the death star community, a Plato-reading dog, a sex toy with gender issues and a mysterious entity hidden under the Antarctic rock and ice. He learns that there is danger, both in the outside world and inside himself, and also love, friendship and a mutant giant vampire pet-eating spider monster.
