The Rossums (father and son) have succeeded finally in producing robots that are humanlike in appearance: a far cry from Burroughs synthetic men. What begins as an engineering marvel succeeds to unprecedented proportions only to shift to a sociological experiment: one that quickly goes awry. The Frankenstein monster has turned on his masters and taken over the world: all that is left are the robots. This drama goes beyond Verne, Wells, Burroughs, et al: the dinosaur, caveman, humankind, robot; what next?
