From a mythic bronze guardian to AI-driven humanoids transforming factories in 2026, Lee unveils 2,700 years of robotics as a seamless epic of human ingenuity and unease. Spanning ancient automata, medieval programmable machines, industrial looms, and future ethical dilemmas, this is the definitive chronicle of our quest to create thinking servants-and the profound choices we face as they awaken.

JOHN LEE is a trained researcher who has spent two decades writing about technology, science, and the ways both shape human life.
