| Anti-Robot Propaganda | ||
| Human activity against robots. |
Early mention of this idea.
| Ever since the Interplanetary Code was modified to allow robot models to be tested in the plants before being shipped out to space, anti-robot propaganda has increased. If any word leaks out about a robot being able to read minds before we can announce complete control of the phenomenon, Tyrone and his demagogues could make pretty effective capital out of it. |
