Have you ever wondered what the future might be like with robots? In the story, “Who Can Replace Man” by Brian Aldiss, he writes about robots taking orders from man, until they grow “extinct”. The relationship between robots and men is quite confusing. Thinking about the story, it says they were excited men were gone, and they wanted to be the new leader, then they found a man and bore down on him, but later they call him master. At the beginning of the story the field-minder was turning topsoil and went to get potato seeds. That’s where we first see the relationship between humans and robots. He finds all other robots running around, with no orders. The robots explain, “If all men have broken down, then we have replaced man,” (Aldiss, 143).
