A cutting-edge anthology, published on the 100th anniversary of the
word "Robot", exploring the possibilities and place of robots in society
going forwards.
100 years after Karel Capek coined the word, "robots" are an everyday
idea, and the inspiration for countless stories in books, film, TV and
games.
They are often among the least privileged, most unfairly used of us, and
the more robots are like humans, the more interesting they become. This
collection of stories is where robots stand in for us, where both we and
they are disadvantaged, and where hope and optimism shines through.
