Maya Fisher is an artist with a conscience-and a problem. After her anti-corporate protest spirals out of control, she's given an ultimatum: join a beta trial for Clara, an AI wellness companion, or face legal consequences. What sounds like sci-fi absurdity soon becomes a sharp mirror to the exhaustion and alienation of modern life.

Alongside Maya are other Clara trial participants-each grappling with their own ways of keeping the world at bay. There's Brenda, a QA analyst burned out from corporate tedium; Rina, an influencer determined to turn authenticity into profit; and Trevor, carrying private grief so heavy it warps his reality. When the Roundtable of Complaints convenes to share Clara's misunderstandings-like Trevor's feeling that the walls were closing in, met by Clara's suggestion to hire demolition services-the result is both laugh-out-loud absurd and heartbreakingly real.

At its core, My Therapist Thinks I'm a Toaster questions what it means to stay human in a world that insists on optimizing us: our moods, our bodies, our emotional breakdowns. Hector Casway's sharp wit cuts through the corporate sheen; his scenes of grief remind us that even the most outrageous satire can't erase what we feel.

For fans of speculative fiction that stings, satire that hurts so good, and characters who carry real scars-this is your next read.
