You
share
a
prejudice
against
robots
which
is
quite
unreasoning
.
He
was
a
very
good
Mayor
;
five
years
later
he
did
become
Regional
Co-ordinator
And
when
the
Regions
of
Earth
formed
their
Federation
in
2044
,
he
became
the
first
World
Co-ordinator
.
By
that
time
it
was
the
Machines
that
were
running
the
world
anyway
.
"
"
Yes
,
but
-
"
"
No
buts
!
The
Machines
are
robots
,
and
they
are
running
the
world
.
It
was
five
years
ago
that
I
found
out
all
the
truth
.
It
was
2052
;
Byerley
was
completing
his
second
term
as
World
Co-ordinator
-
"
The
co-ordinator
,
in
his
private
study
,
had
that
medieval
curiosity
,
a
fireplace
.
To
be
sure
,
the
medieval
man
might
not
have
recognized
it
as
such
,
since
it
had
no
functional
significance
.
The
quiet
,
licking
flame
lay
in
an
insulated
recess
behind
clear
quartz
.
The
logs
were
ignited
at
long
distance
through
a
trifling
diversion
of
the
energy
beam
that
fed
the
public
buildings
of
the
city
.
The
same
button
that
controlled
the
ignition
first
dumped
the
ashes
of
the
previous
fire
,
and
allowed
for
the
entrance
of
fresh
wood
.
-
It
was
a
thoroughly
domesticated
fireplace
,
you
see
.
But
the
fire
itself
was
real
.
It
was
wired
for
sound
,
so
that
you
could
hear
the
crackle
and
,
of
course
,
you
could
watch
it
leap
in
the
air
stream
that
fed
it
.
The
Co-ordinator
's
ruddy
glass
reflected
,
in
miniature
,
the
discreet
gamboling
of
the
flame
,
and
,
in
even
further
miniature
,
it
was
reflected
in
each
of
his
brooding
pupils
.
And
in
the
frosty
pupils
of
his
guest
,
Dr.
Susan
Calvin
of
U.
S.
Robots
amp
;
Mechanical
Men
Corporation
