As the summary says, Magic Boy is an old man who builds a robot which goes back in time and kills him to take his place.
It's a crude book which reveals the author's crude mind, but it's one of vulnerability. Magic Boy struggles with being old, but also enjoys it, and reminisces about his life.
There's a lot of vulnerable frailty, magic boy's nudity is not avoided as the capabilities of his own body are part of the exploration.
There's also a lot of weird shit that doesn't make all that much sense. But if you like things like [a:Ivan Brunetti|59248|Ivan Brunetti|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1291563665p2/59248.jpg]'s [b:Schizo|6917853|Schizo|Ivan Brunetti|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|7145279], this will be right up your alley.
If you like robots who are killer and confused and vulnerable, if you like cats with agendas, if you like dopey old men, if you like very unstylized violence and people unafraid of having caused their own deaths, you will enjoy this book. (
