"We're in that awkward piece of history between cheap humans and cheap robots"

philmophlegm, reflecting on the subject of doing the hoovering.

In a related vein, I read a short SF story by Joan D Vinge this morning. It was set in 2001. In a large, comfortable and well-furnished scientific study camp on Mars. It was only published in 1985.

That's wonderfully epigrammatic, well done Philmophlegm :-)

Thank you. I feel it's the sort of thing that Adam Smith and Isaac Asimov would have talked about had they ever met.
