Sanitizer

By Paula Johanson
Sanitizer by Paula Johanson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Could you write a science fiction story based on your real life? Would you be the hero, or a robot scientist, or maybe the plucky gal?  There are no heroes in housekeeping, and we never get to see the robot scientists, but maybe a plucky gal can get the job done.

 

The assignment at Digital Humanities Summer Institute 2024 was to write a science fiction story using elements from Course #42. "Sanitizer" is the result. As author Paula Johanson says, With one exception, everything in my story "Sanitizer" is actually true. 

 

This story is available as an ebook and an audiobook. Because it has Creative Commons licensing CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, you are welcome to make copies of the ebook or audiobook with my name on them for non-commercial use such as teaching and learning materials in classrooms.
