Asimov is trying to predict what could happen in the future with robots and them wanting to become equal. The structure of the book is a flashback however, the book takes place in the future. In Bicentennial Man, the setting takes place in San Francisco during the time of the mid-twenty-first century to the mid-twenty-third century. How is this different from a human?īicentennial Man is a robot in a book written by Isaac Asimov. Andrew, the Bicentennial Man, shows emotion, looks like a human with human features and has his own thought process. According to Psychology Today, “One of the key characteristics that make us human appears to be that we can think about alternative futures and make deliberate choices accordingly.” Bicentennial Man proves all of this to be wrong. Most would answer that what makes us human is our emotions, our thought process, and the way we look. Truthfully, that is not the case proven in the book, Bicentennial man written by Isaac Asimov. Asimov intertwines the impartiality of science and the irrationality of emotions by creating a “living” android character set in a “normal” family situation sometime in the future when robots can be purchased as Christmas presents.Ī question is asked to make us think, but we feel we have the simplest answer to, “what makes us human?”.
