And
what
did
he
tell
you
?

Let
me
put
that
item
in
its
proper
place
.
I
want
to
talk
about
the
Machines
first
.
And
I
want
to
talk
about
them
to
you
,
because
you
're
the
only
one
in
the
world
who
understands
robots
well
enough
to
help
me
now
.

May
I
grow
philosophical
?
"
"
For
this
evening
,
Stephen
,
you
may
talk
how
you
please
and
of
what
you
please
,
provided
you
tell
me
first
what
you
intend
to
prove
.

That
such
small
unbalances
in
the
perfection
of
our
system
of
supply
and
demand
,
as
I
have
mentioned
,
may
be
the
first
step
towards
the
final
war
.

Susan
Calvin
did
not
allow
herself
to
relax
,
despite
the
designed
comfort
of
the
chair
she
sat
in
.
Her
cold
,
thin-lipped
face
and
her
flat
,
even
voice
were
becoming
accentuated
with
the
years
.
And
although
Stephen
Byerley
was
one
man
she
could
like
and
trust
,
she
was
almost
seventy
and
the
cultivated
habits
of
a
lifetime
are
not
easily
broken
.
"
Every
period
of
human
development
,
Susan
,
"
said
the
Co-ordinator
,
"
has
had
its
own
particular
type
of
human
conflict
--
its
own
variety
of
problem
that
,
apparently
,
could
be
settled
only
by
force
.
And
each
time
,
frustratingly
enough
,
force
never
really
settled
the
problem
.
Instead
,
it
persisted
through
a
series
of
conflicts
,
then
vanished
of
itself
,
-
what
's
the
expression
,
-
ah
,
yes
'n
ot
with
a
bang
,
but
a
whimper
,
'
as
the
economic
and
social
environment
changed
.
And
then
,
new
problems
,
and
a
new
series
of
wars
.
-
Apparently
endlessly
cyclic
.
"
Consider
relatively
modern
times
.
There
were
the
series
of
dynastic
wars
in
the
sixteenth
to
eighteenth
centuries
,
when
the
most
important
question
in
Europe
was
whether
the
houses
of
Hapsburg
or
Valois-Bourbon
were
to
rule
the
continent
.
It
was
one
of
those
'
inevitable
conflicts
,
'
since
Europe
could
obviously
not
exist
half
one
and
half
the
other
.
"
Except
that
it
did
,
and
no
war
ever
wiped
out
the
one
and
established
the
other
,
until
the
rise
of
a
new
social
atmosphere
in
France
in
1789
tumbled
first
the
Bourbons
and
,
eventually
,
the
Hapsburgs
down
the
dusty
chute
to
history
's
incinerator
.
"
And
in
those
same
centuries
there
were
the
more
barbarous
religious
wars
,
which
revolved
about
the
important
question
of
whether
Europe
was
to
be
Catholic
or
Protestant
.
Half
and
half
she
could
not
be
.
It
was
'
inevitable
'
that
the
sword
decide
.
-
Except
that
it
did
n't
.
In
England
,
a
new
industrialism
was
growing
,
and
on
the
continent
,
a
new
nationalism
.
Half
and
half
Europe
remains
to
this
day
and
no
one
cares
much
.
