The vision of humanityKedric Webster
In a series of short stories entitled Robot Visions, Isaac Asimov writes on his passion of robots and what it means to the future of humanity.

If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag.
