About this title: Based on an Asimov short story, "The Bicentennial Man". When NDR 113 came off the assembly lines of the United States Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation it was no more than a positronic brain cased encased in a more-or-less humanoid-looking housing. But NDR 113 was no ordinary robot.

"great story about civil rights, and what it means to be human. The movie Bicentennial Man is based on this book, as was the general concept of I, Robot. This has to be one of my new favorites in Scifi."
"Having watched "The Bicentennial Man" before reading this book, I knew what to expect. However, the fact that a direct book-film translation is nearly impossible, I was happy to find that the novel is far more logically sentimental and less humorous. Andrew Martin is a character that should be remembered like Harry Potter, he's the underdog with a simple advantage: Love and Imagination."
"The story on which this novel is based was one of my favorites in all of Asimov's robot stories. Asimov and Silverberg employ an admirable protagonist, some hard SF, and many parallels to our own journeys as men and women to churn out an amazingly readable tale.
This book is simply an exapanding of Asimov's story "The Bicentennial Man" (and a great one, at that) and probably my favorite work of Asimov's since I've started reading him.
Even if you're not a fan of sci-fi, this is one of those books that you could read and be pleased with. I recommend doing so..."
