A Guide for Working Breeds, by Vina Jie-Min Prasad

This is a fun but serious story commenting on worker exploitation as robots.  Employers are taking it in the face at the moment since with Covid-19 staff shortages people won't put up with garbage, but automation is progressing and an intelligent but indentured AI might be forced to.  Pretty fun relationship story here too.
