Robot

The robot — the made thing that moves and answers without feeling — is a modern figure with no source. What it raises is old: the fear of the human-shaped thing with no inner life, or of becoming that yourself. Where in waking life are you acting without feeling, or meeting something that mimics care without holding any — and which of you is the machine in the dream?
