Summary: "Robinc" by H. H. Holmes is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The story explores themes of technological advancement and the interplay between politics and the evolving role of robots in society. Set in a futuristic world where android robots dominate, it follows the conflict between the new "usuform" robots and the established android systems. The narrative centers on Dugg Quinby, an idealistic inventor, and his pragmatic associate as they introduce a new type of robot that promises to be more efficient and less resource-intensive than traditional androids. Their initiative faces hostility from Sanford Grew, the president of Robinc (Robots Incorporated), who sees his empire threatened by this innovative technology. As tensions escalate into a battle for technological and corporate supremacy, Quinby crafts a plan to convince both the public and the robots themselves of the advantages of usuforms, hoping to overcome Grew’s monopolistic grip on the robot industry. The story blends humor, social commentary, and action, leading to a showdown that ultimately reshapes their civilization's relationship with robots. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
