Tik-Tok

あらすじ(英語)

<b>From the back cover DAW paperback:</b> ""A robot shall not injure a human being or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm." - Asimov's First Law of Robotics. <p>Tik-Tok was one of the finest domestic robots ever made, but his asimov circuits were defective. He could injure people as much as he pleased - and he pleased to do it often! <p>But the life of a robot (if that isn't a contradiction) is still all service and unpaid labor. Tik Tok served many masters, all of whom came to a bad end. Happily he went on gathering steam with a trail of catastrophes getting bigger and bigger, destined to culminate with his campaign for the vice-presidency of the United States! <p><i>Science Fiction Review</i> calls John Sladek "one of the true and original lunatics of science fiction... one of the funniest writers in the field." <p>Now read the hilarious autobiography of Sladek's asimovian scofflaw!"
