Robot Proletariat

By Sean Platt

In the future, robots like Mars and Cromwell serve their human masters. Having long since replaced humans in the back hallways and servants' quarters of the ultra-wealthy, new models are acquired, render their service, then are quietly deactivated when obsolete. But then we gave them the ability to learn. One household is about to find out that, while Asimov's laws are immutable, humans are about to experience an uprising of a different sort. This first, surprisingly heartfelt episode of a new series puts the reader in the shoes of the the soulless who serve. Robot Proletariat offers a touching look at a foreign morality, reminiscent of the class tension felt in films such as Gosford Park, or its TV equivalent Downton Abbey, and yet embracing the classic sci-fi depth of (the modern) Battlestar Galactica. If you are a sci-fi fan, or of well told stories, you will love Robot Proletariat.
