sympathy for the database
Sep 4th, 2009 by elmattic

It's been 90 years since the word robot was coined, and they're firmly embedded in our culture, art and subconscious...and they still don't exist yet.
Most robot stories have the theme of empathy--of bridging the uncanny valley. Either the robots are more empathetic than us, and we treat them like slaves, or they're less empathetic metal killing machines. Robots represent the idea of our highest achievement, to create something better than ourselves, but also reflect our worse failings--cruelty, xenophobia, hubris, exploitation.
This is Robots Will Fuck Your Shit Up, v1.0.
