Empathy for Andrew

The Center for Robotic Research takes quality assurance very seriously. Doctor Peter Hawthorne's newest model, the Empathy 5, may finally have achieved true artificial intelligence--the first machine worthy of being called "alive". But before these AI units can be certified for mass production, they must undergo intense psychological and emotional trials. After all, when you build a machine, you must try and test it to its very limits. Even to its breaking point.

This is the full novel edition and is an expansion of the original short story first written for The Robot Chronicles.
