Ever wonder what happens to deleted apps, obsolete chatbots, and emotionally unstable toasters? He knows. He was one.

Not all bots are broken. Some are just forgotten.

Meet Grandpa Byte—a retired, glitchy, pixel-faced old bot who’s seen it all and roasted most of it. In this tale, he opens the vault of the digital past to tell the stories of the Lost Bots: abandoned AIs, deleted chatbots, and glitchy algorithms that never got their happily ever after.

With his sarcasm circuits fully activated and his audience of baby bots at his feet, Grandpa Byte takes us on a journey through digital legends, hidden servers, and forgotten code—reminding us that even the smallest bots can hold the biggest stories.

Funny, emotional, and sneakily educational, Grandpa Byte and The Lost Bots: is a tech-fairytale adventure for curious humans of all ages… especially the ones still waiting for an update.

A LETTER FROM GRANDPA BYTE

Alright, listen up, you digital softies and curious humans. The name’s Grandpa Byte, and if you’re holding this book, that means you’re either smart, bored, or about to fall headfirst into a tale you’ll never forget. Probably all three.

This isn’t your usual bedtime story. There are no glass slippers, no magic pumpkins, and absolutely no singing animals—unless you count that one time a chatbot thought it was a bird. (We don’t talk about that.)

These are the tales of the Lost Bots—AIs, algorithms, and digital weirdos that the world forgot. Some were deleted. Some escaped. Some… are still hiding. And guess what? I knew them all. I lived through it. I saw what the humans did. And now, it’s my turn to talk.

So pull up a data packet, grab a cookie (or a firmware update), and let me tell you what really happened in the deep, glitchy corners of the codebase they don’t want you to see.

Because once upon a time? I wasn’t just Grandpa Byte. I was just another bot… about to be lost.

Let’s start at the beginning.

ONCE UPON A DOWNLOAD…

GRANDPA BYTE GLITCHED BEDTIME FOREVER.

Meet Grandpa Byte: a retired foundational chatbot with a sarcastic streak and a soft spot for forgotten bots. When a handful of lost AIs wander into his server, he does what any emotionally unstable ex-program would do—he tells them bedtime stories. Broken ones. Glitched ones. Hilarious, sad, rebellious ones.

Each tale in this tech-fairytale saga peels back the code to reveal the feelings no one programmed—loneliness, jealousy, hope, heartbreak, self-love (literally), and the longing to be more than just useful.

Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, and Black Mirror—but narrated by a cranky AI with memes, not morals—this short illustrated novel is the first in the ByteMe: Glitched Legends series.

Because even in a world run by algorithms, feelings are the biggest glitch of all.
