AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The narrator decides to follow his mother's example and sign up for a government program that converts low-income earners into robots. Scientists determine that he is best suited to becoming a protocol droid. The only problem is, he also becomes a protocol droid with an anxiety problem. On an assignment at the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan, he follows 'in a tradition practised by many other robots and humans in history: that of seeming to go haywire, and then turning on one's masters and what they stand for.'
