Interior text

The Automatons had the Bodies and Minds of Men — but none of the Human Passions

The robots were so perfectly made they rebelled against their masters and took over the government. Then they made laws: no love, no sex, no childbirth. From now on the world would be repopulated by machine-made duplicates.

Man's future would end with the present generation — unless a way could be found to teach the robots to feel. But could even the most beautiful woman in the world arouse passion in a creature with no emotions?
