In the near future, lab-grown sex dolls are the pleasure toy of choice in this disturbing and provocative short story from Lauren Beukes, the bestselling author of The Shining Girls.

Actor and sex worker Nats is experienced at putting on a show. However, her new gig supplying intimate whispers for growgirls takes her to a place darker and lonelier than she could have ever imagined. The lab-grown dolls can respond to pleasure or pain; their synthetic heads contain only the simplest AI to prevent any pesky robo sex doll uprisings. But just because growgirls don’t have a brain, doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice…

Ungirls is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting.

Distopia estranhamente realista

A premissa do conto é tratada logo de cara, além de trazer uma problemática muito real (apesar de acontecer "em um futuro próximo").

Fiquei meio traumatizada com o tom de perseguição anônima presente no enredo a partir da segunda metade, mas creio que parte da intenção da autora era justamente essa - já que é também a intenção da coleção de contos.
