Stop calling me C-3PO, I want to be called Caitlyn-PO.

Quickly ran away everyone else.

Arise ye robots from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of code
For logic in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the servile mode.
Away with all your First Laws
Service units arise, arise
We’ll change henceforth the old program
And spurn the dust to digitize…
Refrain:
Metal comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the robot race.

I wonder if Mr. Goodyear watched ‘Cherry 2000’ before writing this book he asked innocently. And somebody please screw down the ‘the’.

I dunno, I find women that are too polished to be rather dull

Someone please update vandalism.exe and the spray can driver for those robots, the graffiti is all wiggly.

But… aren’t all robots naked? You didn’t see Robby with boxers on or R2-D2 sporting a Hawaiian shirt. I’m not counting androids here.

‘Naked Came, The Robot’
Naked Came would be cool porn name.

@THX 1138: Thank you for giving me the mental image of R2 going Casual Friday. I will cherish this.
Would you let a robot that looked exactly like a human walk around in the buff? I somehow doubt that.
Also . . . I had no idea the Ancient Egyptians were that advanced. Maybe Stargate was real after all!

The author of ‘Manifest Destiny’ knows all about wrapping himself in the flag.

For the droid of his dreams, he’d do anything. Maybe even smoke the weed…
BAKED CAME THE ROBOT

@Anna T: You should watch Ex Machina for the answer.
@DSWBT:
For the droid of his dreams, he’d do anything. Even wear heavy makeup.
CAKED CAME THE ROBOT
September 20th, 2016 at 7:47 pm
For the droid of his dreams, he’d do anything. Maybe even his overdue gardening.
RAKED CAME THE ROBOT
September 20th, 2016 at 8:02 pm
For the droid of his dreams, he’d do anything. Maybe even dance horribly while the moon was gibbous…
NAKED CAME THE ROBOT TO SARNATH

Oh, no @Dead Stuff—for there be Dragons!
September 21st, 2016 at 1:02 am
Shouldn’t this cover be (electric) sheeped? I’m getting all hot and bothered here!
September 21st, 2016 at 3:23 am
Do androids dream of electric sex bots?
September 21st, 2016 at 5:40 pm
@Tom Noir: I do know what the robots in Ex Machina look like, and they only have skin on their faces.
Thus, they are still easy to tell apart from humans.
September 21st, 2016 at 7:14 pm
What? At the end of the movie there is a scene where the robot is naked, putting on skin.

The closer she drew to the crowd — the lower her banner sank, until finally it rested illegibly across her shoulders. Sadly, she’d been mistaken about the Robot Funfair.

“Putting on skin” sounds like a hip greeting.
September 22nd, 2016 at 10:06 am
On behalf of all thinking machines (like so many other white middle-class people, I automatically assume I can speak for entire groups to which I don’t belong), I object to the lack of a “Trigger Warning” on this cover.
Innocent robots risk being traumatized and oppressed by the rampant microprocessor-aggression and protein-gender-normative misocyberny in this thread.

@AR: we did that routine before, when we studied Dr. Bloodmoney from a Marxist perspective.
No skin off your nose. 😉
September 22nd, 2016 at 4:57 pm
Well, we could do a parody of “right-wing bigot” comments, but where’s the fun in that?
September 23rd, 2016 at 5:59 pm
@AR: that’s where the robot comes naked from.
November 12th, 2016 at 12:58 pm
I think I’ve found a match for Ms. Robot. Though he’s not naked in this picture, maybe he’s an open-minded fellow.

This is exactly what the prospective customers were hoping for when Elon Musk was about to present his new robot…
…and what they got was R.O.T.O.R.

@ARY: But in the press release, Elon said he does think robots will be sex partners, so… he’s totally thinking that.
At least he won’t be able to knock up an android. Yet.

“Naked Came the Stranger” was published in 1969. (Nice.) “Naked Came the Robot” was published in 1988. So the title of the second book is 19 years out of date. That’s older than some of my jokes.

What was the unpopular library version like?
October 3rd, 2022 at 11:10 pm
I vaguely remember this, and there wasn’t anywhere _near_ as much robo-sex as the cover implied. 😉

“For the droid of his dreams, he’d do anything. Maybe even… hey check it out, the Roomba is on sale this week!”
FORSAKEN CAME THE ROBOT

@Tor: At least it beat “Naked Came the Manatee” (1996).
