And also the story of that historic robot in the first book of The Matrix comics, the one that destroyed his master when he didn't wish to die.
I *loved* the Second Renaissance. For years I've thought about the rights of robots (and, after watching Star Trek: Voyager, the rights of holograms/photonic beings) and I always look forward to the day, like in the Second Renaissance, where I will walk hand in hand with robots, marching for their rights, with a sign that says "They may not be human, but they're people too." I look forward to having robot neighbors (if sentient robots decide to own houses and "live" like humans do) and learning from them and their experiences.
Call me a sap, call me too empathetic, but I *cried* during the scene where the robot young woman is beaten to "death" by humans while screaming for mercy and that "I'm a person, too!"
