This chapter queries how narratives about androids parenting human children can help us understand human parenting practices, their embodied and material character, and our concerns for the future of the children we parent. Their analysis of the two works finds striking differences in how embodied mothering is constructed as well as similarities in the focus on a future, better humanity. The authors conclude that the figure of the android lets us ponder both what we value and what we fear in human parenting practices. In a time when human connection is increasingly mediated by technology, these stories express socio-culturally specific concerns about what is involved in raising children well, highlighting the need for our parenting practices to be guided by the kinds of relations we want our children to be able to form.
