Robot Proletariat: Season One


Sean Platt - 2013

Their metal knees were designed for quiet bustling, befitting maids and butlers. Their fingers were made dexterous with padded tips, so they could handle fine china without dropping or scratching it. And finally — so their owners would always be able to command them no matter how far their artificial intelligence evolved — they were programmed with the Asimov Laws, which no robot could defy lest they suffer shutdown.Foremost among those unbreakable laws was an axiom: A robot may not harm a human being, or by omission of action allow one to be harmed.That was how it was supposed to be, anyway.Most of the Lexington family all like their aging, borderline obsolete robot staff in the way they'd appreciate antiques.
