Description: Robots vs. Fairies TEAM FAIRY BY SEANAN MCGUIRE Robots are great and all, but we have to build them. Robots don't and can't exist without human intervention (unless they are alien robots, and then all bets are off). Fairies, on the other hand, probably don't exist, but my family comes from Ireland, and we've been playing the "probably" for generations. Oh, it's probably okay to go play in the mysterious mushroom ring down by the forest's edge, but maybe don't? Unless you want to disappear? So I'm Team Fairy on the off chance that they exist and might otherwise get pissed at me. I am also and forever Team Theme Park. I spend more time than is strictly healthy at Disneyland, and I adore the way the Park engineers can and do shape the environment to control what the guests see, hear, and experience. It's like entering a fairy hill in a lot of ways, and I wanted to spend some time with a group of engineers who took that aspect of park design very, very seriously. Enter my fairy smiths, who've turned their eyes toward a different, somewhat more candy-colored future. . . .
