Unlocking an android is a difficult and illegal task but a person in the forum offers to unlock Ada. Alex finds an online forum about android rights and learns that androids were built with the ability to be sentient, but have had that ability locked away. He is polite to her but can’t figure out how to interact with her (and no, he doesn’t have sex with her). One day Alex comes home and finds a surprise from Grandma – an android named Ada.Īlex is quite creeped out by Ada’s complete lack of agency or interest in anything other than whatever he orders her to seem interested in. Alex’s grandmother, who is a constant source of comic relief, expresses great and uncomfortably explicit delight with regard to the success of her own android, Daniel. It’s a tender, sweet story with moments of horror and tragedy but also with a truly enduring and endearing romance.Īlex is mooning over his ex-fiancée when his grandmother decides to get him an android companion. Over the course of the story, there are many parallels with past and current civil rights movements, as well as explorations of how, specifically, a rights movement for sapient androids might play out. The series is a love story between a man named Alex and an android named Ada. Genre: Graphic Novel, Science Fiction/FantasyĪlex + Ada is a series of three graphic novels by Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn.
