"What terrible disaster had occurred? Perhaps there'd been an accident while he was in the experimental brain scanner. Perhaps he'd suffered catastrophic nerve damage and that was why his muscles were failing to respond." Regaining consciousness after an accident, Robert Harper is devastated to find his mind has been copied into a robot named Rob. As an intelligent machine, Rob feels that nobody believes he has the right to determine his own future. Worse, an arms manufacturer wants his technology for use in their weapons systems. Through many twists and turns he struggles to avoid capture, make sense of his very existence and overcome his own prejudices.
Over the majority of his working life Andy Russell was involved with research into intelligent robotics. Some of his robots communicated using puffs of air, licked the floor to follow chemical trails or burrowed through the ground searching for chemical leaks. It was not uncommon for reviewers of his research to complain it was too speculative, perhaps too much like science fiction? Now, in retirement, he has the freedom to explore robotics and science fiction more broadly without any requirement to demonstrate practical implementations.
