I may have been made, but now I am making myself 

Man am I a sucker for a story on artificial life discovering its humanity.

The Employees conveys this in a way I've never encountered before though. Instead of giving us a lovable android to root for, the book pushes us to reflect on our own humanity through proposed questions and scenarios larger than the story at hand. It really does trap you into poetry under the guise of sci fi fiction.
