We, Robots (2020)
by Simon Ings
Book Notes
- The stories in this collection are grouped into six sections, with each section having a brief introductory essay covering the themes and stories of that section.
From the description on the publisher's site, the sections are:
- "It's Alive!" is about inventors and their creations.
- "Following the Money" drops robots into the day-to-day business of living.
- "Owners and Servants" considers the human potentials and pitfalls of owning and maintaining robots.
- "Changing Places" looks at what happens at the blurred interface between human and machine minds.
- "All Hail the New Flesh" waves goodbye to the physical boundaries that once separated machines from their human creators.
- "Succession" considers the future of human and machine consciousnesses – in so far as we might have one.
NB: The contents list (as visible via Kobo's preview of the ebook) indicates that the third section is actually entitled "Overseer and Servant".
