Ich bin Andro, KI-Androide 3.0-m, ein Roboter. Es ist exakt drei Tage her, dass meine Erbauer – korrigiere, meine Eltern – mich aktiviert haben. Mein Auftrag: Undercover in die Schule gehen und nicht auffallen! Du lieber Mensch! Kopfrechnen, Hausaufgaben, Freundschaften schließen! Hochgradig kompliziert bei diesen seltsamen Wesen, für die es keine Bedienungsanleitung gibt. Zumal meine Eltern veraltete Technik in mir verbaut haben. Nicht nur Lehrer Lembke, auch das weibliche Wesen Lilli kommt mir langsam auf die Schliche.

Akku voll und los! Meine Undercover-Mission bei der komplizierten Spezies namens "Mensch" geht weiter: die Konrad-Zuse-Schule besuchen, Informationen sammeln und Freundschaften schließen. Doch eine Eigenart dieser Menschen bleibt mir ein Rätsel: ihre unlogischen Gefühle. Ein heimlich eingebautes Emotionsmodul muss her. Kabelbruch und Stromausfall – mich erreichen kribbelige Stromschläge. Mein Modul funktioniert! Es funktioniert sogar sehr gut – Piep! – zu gut! Ich empfange zahlreiche Signale, meine Programmierung gerät völlig durcheinander.
