Clean Up Your Room! Short Story by: Laura Anne Gilman Ever get woken up by your mom or robot, and they want you to clean up your room right away. Well in this novel Laura Anne Gilman makes this come true. She has been an author / editor for quite some time. In this particular book she makes the setting in a house. In this house a robot named Mum (Maternal Uplink and Monitor) controls every thing.

Clean Up Your Room! Even though it is a plain title it goes with the story. On one early morning the main character Jessy gets woken up. Usually she sleeps in forever, but not this morning. She is working on this program (MUM) to make it perfect. Made for parents to have the perfect baby sitter that they can trust.

Mum can clean, cook, and make you exercise. But it always seems to have an error in it. Except this morning. This book is an Internal Conflict.

Based on important decisions Jessy has to make. As Mum keeps surprising her with all that she knows she wants to keep going along with it. To see if she has created what she hopes. Jessy has a partner Greg that helps program Mum. In the book it talks about him creating the tone of voice the Mum uses. When Mum tells Jessy to come to breakfast she uses a deep voice.

Mum also doest want her to be working at the table. In some cases if she is on the phone but supposed to be exercising, she will disconnect the phones. Jessy doesn't like this and tells mum". I am the programmer you are the program. You have to consult me when completing an objective". That is an complication that moves central action.

In the end of the book they are ready to put Mum on the market. Maybe it will be a great success and very useful. Both Jessy and Greg or excited and can't wait to see the outcome. It's time to review this short story. In my opinion this was a good Science Fiction book. It had some great views on what the world might be like in the near future.

How you could see some on a screen and talk on the phone at the same time. Also to have a robotic maid to do every thing for you. From what it seems Laura Anne Gilman is a brilliant author. I couldn't find anything to change the story to make it better. This is a well rounded book, and would recommend this book to any one who likes Science Fiction novels.
