UPGRADED is apparently showing up in stores ahead of the publication date. Since they’ve done that, I’ve authorized all our ebook dealers to start shipping today. To celebrate, let’s have a contest. The best caption for the following picture will win a signed copy of UPGRADED. International entries welcome and all entries must be submitted as a comment to this post. Deadline: 9/22/14.
This unstaged photo was taken this past weekend. Pictured left to right: Sean, Neil, and Kate.

“I’m telling you: he smiled like a second ago. I swear. I got him this human body because it’s ticklish.”
Kyle O
“He’s inquisitive, but you should see him at suppertime.”
Mark-0
“See? Not ALL robots.”
James Clark
Just wait; Bluetooth takes a minute…
Destructo the Mad
“It’s like an Oculus Rift, just a bit more invasive.”
Bruce Cohen
“I’m sure he’ll be good as new as soon as the OS update finishes.”
Jazz
“We didn’t quite make our final stretch goal, so Sean has been, shall we say, semi-graded.”

Err, I missed the deadline. 🙁
I hope this got some laughs, though. Was a fun contest, and worth a try.
