know the way to a city's heart is through its stomach. So when a group of deactivated robots
come back online in an abandoned ghost kitchen they decide to make their own way doing what
they know: making food-the tastiest hand-pulled noodles around-for the humans of San Francisco
who are recovering from a devastating war. But when their robot-run business starts causing a
stir a targeted wave of one-star reviews threatens to boil over into a crisis. To keep their
doors open they'll have to call on their customers their community and each other-and find a
way to survive and thrive in a world that wasn't built for them.
