Born to be replaced by a superior model, the holy cyborg, Adrastus, Mark Three, struggles to find his place in a hostile world. His mother's garden, of cruel tests and experiments, offers no sanctuary. The militaristic city of Elysium offers safe harbor, but only if he is the pilot his mother promised them he'd be. A Weed in the Flowerbeds is a meditative, deep exploration of personhood and gender in a post-future cyberpunk setting.
