Automata sounds good, so does Der Sandmann. Anyone read either of those?

"Personoids do not need any human-like physical body; they are rather an abstraction of a function of the human mind, they live in computers."How cool is that?

Seconding _The Cyberiad_. The English translation is really good, too.
_Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?_ is worth a peek, I suppose, though I hardly remember it anymore. Ditto the obvious Asimov collection _I, Robot_ which is more like Sunday paper puzzles in short story form.

I don't knowv if I've ever read a book about robots!

Naw, I've read some Bradbury,but it's been years and years. Marionettes, Inc. Probably a few others.

Can't remember if I finished the Sladek books. Think I did. Like him better in principle than in practice tbh.

I started getting interested in robots again because I heard this documentary about robots in the workplace about 5 times (they keep repeating it on the world service) and wanted to imagine what the future might be like regarding machines. Not like Terminator 4 I hope
