...I wonder if this is where the trope of 'robots maltunctioning when asked what love is' comes from.

DOES NOT COMPUTE

I mean, the killing started before the human even uttered the word 'love'. This is more of a PSA for the Three Laws of Robotics.

Or just telling your employees what the purpose of their role is, rather than letting them find out for themselves.

I was more thinking just that the last line is "What is love?", which is the trope.

One of these days we’ll be able to ask that question without the primal need to follow it up with this.

huntleyhaverstock: Joel McCrea as Johnny Jones, aka "Huntley Haverstock," in Alfred Hitchcock's FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT (Default)
From: [personal profile] huntleyhaverstock
The writing here's unusually good and attentive to language. This doesn't read like one of Ray Bradbury's stories, but it has the same cunning descriptions, the way of making the familiar strange by looking at it from a different perspective. (Alan Moore was/is really good at this, like when he describes Superman in flight as a "violet comet.") The plot may be tropey, but the way its told resonates.
