Luminescent Machinations: Queer Tales of Monumental Invention will be a speculative anthology exploring the limits of machinery, the fragility and power of queer bodies, and mecha in all their forms.

The intersections of body, technology, agency, power: nowhere are these lines more clearly delineated than in science fiction. And what better way to explore them than giant gay robots?
