They are invincible warriors of steel, silky-skinned enticers,
stealers of jobs and lovable goofball sidekicks. Legions of robots
and androids star in the dream factories of Hollywood and leer on
pulp magazine covers, instantly recognizable icons of American
popular culture. For two centuries, we have been told tales of
encounters with creatures stronger, faster and smarter than
ourselves, making us wonder who would win in a battle between
machine and human. This books examines society's reactions to
robots and androids such as Robby and Rosie, Elektro and Sparko,
Data, WALL-E, C3PO and the Terminator in popular culture,
particularly before and after World War I when the power of
technology unfolded. It shows how robots evolved with the times and
then eventually caught up with and surpassed them.
