When staging a revolution, remember to keep your pinky up. In the future, robots like Mars and Cromwell serve their human masters. Having long since replaced human in the back hallways and servants' quarters of the ultra-wealthy, new models are acquired, they render their service, and they are quietly deactivated when obsolete. But then we started giving them the ability to learn. And one household is about to find out that, while Asimov's laws are immutable, free will can create an uprising of a different sort. This first, surprisingly heartfelt episode of a new series puts the reader in the shoes of the the soulless who serve. A touching look at a foreign morality, reminiscent of Downton Abbey and yet shying away from none of the questions of classic sci-fi.
