MAN: Those were the years
after the icecaps had melted...
...because of the greenhouse gases...
...and the oceans had risen
to drown so many cities...
...along all the shorelines
of the world.
Amsterdam, Venice, New York...
...forever lost.
Millions of people were displaced.
Climate became chaotic.
Hundreds of millions of people
starved in poorer countries.
Elsewhere, a high degree
of prosperity survived...
...when most governments
in the developed world...
...introduced legal sanctions
to strictly license pregnancies...
...which was why robots, who are never
hungry and who did not consume resources...
...beyond those of
their first manufacture...
...were so essential
an economic link...
...in the chain mail of society.
To create an artificial being
has been the dream of man...
...since the birth of science.
Not merely the beginning of
the modern age, when our forebears...
...astonished the world
with the first thinking machines...
...primitive monsters that could
play chess.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
How far we have come!
The artificial being is a reality,
a perfect simulacrum...
...articulated in limb,
articulate in speech...
...and not lacking in human response.
[SHEILA SCREAMS]
And even pain-memory response.
[ALL LAUGH]
How did that make you feel?
Angry? Shocked?
-I don't understand.
-What did I do to your feelings?
You did it to my hand.
Aye...
...there's the rub.
Undress.
At Cybertronics of New Jersey, the artificial
being has reached its highest form.
The universally adapted Mecha...
...the basis for hundreds of models
serving the human race...
...in all the multiplicity
of daily life.
That's far enough.

Summary: David, a robotic boy—the first of his kind programmed to love—is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee and his wife. Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David. Without final acceptance by humans or machines, David embarks on a journey to discover where he truly belongs, uncovering a world in which the line between robot and machine is both vast and profoundly thin.
