About this book
In a world where technology intertwines with the fabric of everyday life, "The Obedient Servant" by S. M. Tenneshaw explores the complexities of human relationships through the lens of artificial intelligence. Set against the backdrop of mid-20th century advancements, this science fiction short story delves into the moral dilemmas of ownership and autonomy, as embodied by the unique robot servant purchased by John Gardner for his wife, Dolores. As the narrative unfolds, themes of loyalty and the quest for unalienable rights emerge, challenging the characters—and readers—to confront the implications of their choices. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this thought-provoking tale invites reflection on the nature of servitude and the essence of humanity.
