The Evitable Conflict

The Day of the Mechanical Man

Prophetic glimpses of a strange and threatening tomorrow.

“’But you are telling me, Susan, that the “Society for Humanity” is right; and that Mankind has lost its own say in its future.'

‘It never had it really. It was always at the mercy of economic and societal forces it did not understand-Machines understand them; and no one can stop them, since the Machines will deal with them as they are dealing with the Society-having, as they do, the greatest weapon at their disposal, the absolute control of our economy.’

‘How horrible!’

‘Perhaps how wonderful!’ "

I, Robot,Isaac Asimov
