Review Summary
Adam Link is one sadly misunderstood robot. Humans treat him like a monster, but he really is a robot with real human emotions. He has television cameras for eyes, and microphones for ears, with the strength of a machine, but the sensitivity of a man. He saves humans from a burning building, and fights off alien invaders from a distant star, but humans still fear and hate him. They bring him to trial for the alleged murder of his creator, the brilliant but reclusive scientist, Dr. Charles Link.

After Adam Link is exonerated for the alleged murder, he then seeks United States citizenship and fights for the same rights as humans.

He tells this story in his own words, telling it matter of factly, without anger or resentment to the humans that hate him. He absolutly refuses to hurt a human being.
