A review by mattleesharp
The Ego Machine by Henry Kuttner

2.0

Very sloppy. Occasionally funny. Like most public domain scifi, there's something very arbitrary and not well thought out about it.



How about a story about a talking robot imprinting personalities on people temporarily for research?

Ok...What kind of personalities?

You know. Famous historical figures.

Who do you have in mind? Napoleon? Alexander the great? Jesus?

Nah. The big guns. Benjamin Disraeli!

I guess that could work...?

Oh and also we'll have a screenwriter trying to get out of a contract with an evil company.

Wut.
