Three award-winning advertising executives prove that in business, Sacred Cows deserve to die. Don't get us wrong.

In the summer of 2006, David Fraser was the Canadian general in charge of NATO's Regional Command South, a territory spanning six Afghan provinces surrounding the Arghandab Valley. Birthplace of the Taliban decades earlier, this fertile region had since become Afghanistan's most deadly turf. It would soon turn deadlier still.

Hier kommt Dotty! Superschlau, superlustig, supermenschlich. Dotty ist Teil eines supergeheimen Geheimprojekts. Ein Jahr lang soll das Robotermädchen eine normale Schule besuchen. Natürlich darf niemand merken, dass sie gar kein echter Mensch ist. Doch die charmante Androide stolpert von einem Fettnäpfchen zum nächsten. Aber woher soll man als Roboter auch wissen, dass man Lehrer besser nicht ständig verbessert? Oder wozu es Regeln gibt, die nur dazu da sind, gebrochen zu werden? Da brennen einem ja glatt die Schaltkreise durch!

Easy-peasy, right? As Dotty navigates the social expectations of year 7, she gets into a series of hilarious scrapes and encounters numerous ethical dilemmas both at school and at home.
