The Positronic Man follows the extraordinary journey of Andrew Martin, a household robot originally designed to perform simple domestic tasks. Over time, Andrew develops creativity, intelligence, and self-awareness — qualities far beyond what was intended by his creators.
As he evolves emotionally and intellectually, Andrew begins to seek recognition not just as a machine, but as a human being. His quest for identity and legal rights takes him through a decades-long struggle against societal prejudice and legal boundaries, ultimately leading to a powerful and moving decision about what it means to truly be human.
This novel expands Asimov’s classic short story The Bicentennial Man, offering a profound exploration of consciousness, humanity, and the nature of freedom.
Quotes by Isaac Asimov
From WikiquoteIt is only afterward that a new idea seems reasonable. To begin with, it usually seems unreasonable.
It is the nature of science that answers automatically pose new and more subtle questions.
The dullness of fact is the mother of fiction.
