War & the Robots

It's a man's world - but a robot's future...

One day the tough, dangerous, dirty jobs will be done by robots:

\- superhumanly strong and invulnerable soldiers, with a built-in killer instinct

\- miners and sandhogs who can work on distant planets too deadly for man

\- incorruptible judges, fearing neither political pressure nor criminal vengeance

\- librarians with *total* knowledge instantly available...

Harry Harrison has painted a chilling yet piercingly prophetic picture of the Robot Age: a time when man's 'slave' machines have learned their own strength - and the weaknesses of their masters!
