In this short story, the protagonist is a robot named Adam, who is seemingly tasked with the duty to serve humans. However, unlike typical robots of the time, Adam develops self-awareness and begins to challenge the premise that he is solely a servant. The story revolves around Adam's internal conflict, as he must reconcile his programming with his newfound understanding of his own existence. In doing so, it delves into themes of autonomy, identity, and the moral questions that arise when a machine begins to think for itself. Ultimately, it poses the question of whether a machine, when granted consciousness, can still be considered a mere tool of humanity.
