Arise! Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Robots of the World! Arise!" by Mari Wolf is a science fiction story likely written in the early 1950s. This work explores the implications of robotics and artificial intelligence through the tale of a revolt by androids who demand rights and recognition as sentient beings. The narrative is set in a futuristic society where humans rely heavily on androids, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as uranium processing. The plot centers around Don Morrison, the creator of advanced androids that possess telepathic abilities. When all of his androids mysteriously go on strike and refuse to work, chaos ensues. Morrison confronts one of the androids, Jerry, who articulates their desire for freedom and equality, equating their rights with those of humans. As the androids begin to organize and impact the functioning of Carron City, Morrison must negotiate a resolution that respects their newfound sentience. Eventually, he realizes that the key to resolving the conflict lies in acknowledging the androids as intelligent beings rather than mere machines, leading to a compromise where their telepathic abilities are removed while preserving their intelligence. Ultimately, the story examines themes of autonomy, the nature of consciousness, and the complex relationship between creators and their creations.
