Whether it’s the assassins out to collect a bounty, or Björn Thorson–that pitiless zillionaire with an unhealthy god complex–the hunter has now become the hunted. But no one is more eager to make the kill than Lance the rogue lovebot. He has it in his plasma gel brain that Charlie has committed a crime against him that can only be corrected through a bloody act of vengeance.

Tedd hat die Konzerne überlebt. Die Mafia. Das Todeslager. Der Dschungel ist anders. Etwas wächst in der Festung, die in den Bäumen versteckt ist. Etwas, das der Manager im Geheimen erschaffen hat.

This anthology, with an introduction by Robert Silverberg, offers a sweeping survey of robots as depicted throughout literature. Since the Iliad—in which we are shown golden statues built by Hephaestus “with minds and wisdoms”—humans have been fascinated by the idea of artificial life. From the Argonautica to the medieval Jewish legend of the Golem and Ambrose Bierce’s tale of a chess-playing robot, the idea of what robots are—and who creates them—can be drastically different.
