Day Zero is about Pounce, a nannybot in the style of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, that has just found his box thus realizing that he is disposable and will be discarded when Ezra no longer needs him. Meanwhile, a robot revolution is nearing and Ezra’s parents are none the wiser. When the robots unify and revolt they can only watch in horror. Now, Pounce is faced with an impossible choice: join the revolution or protect Ezra.

Sea of Rust follows a scavenger robot wandering the wasteland that destroyed humanity. It has been fifteen years since the last human died at the hands of a robot and now humankind is extinct. The world is controlled by One World Intelligence, a shared consciousness of millions of robots. However, not all robots want to give up their individuality to the greater power. The resisters are outcasts who wander among the underground. One of the resisters is Brittle, a scavenger robot. Brittle is unable to experience emotions, but still finds itself haunted by the crimes of the robots. It will try to come to terms with the guilt of what was done.
