We Have Concerns

Roboticists have created an automaton with the appearance and behavior of legendary science fiction author, Phillip K. Dick.

At least the robot uprising will start with fantastic authors. Get all your sweet We Have Concerns merch by swinging by http://wehaveconcerns.com/shop Hey!
