Walking AND talking? (Sorry for being a pest.) I.e., do HAL 9000 and his ilk qualify?

So far have unearthed 12 volumes of "Do Androids Dream" all claiming to be "by Philip K Dick". Of course , this cannot be--would that it could--given that Dick died decades ago. Peace and Blessings be upon him.
OK -- so HAL stays grounded, and so does KITT! :)
Well, in a later book he got a body, but yeah.
Well, it was a human body, not a robot one. I still wouldn't add it.

From the description in the novel - I don't think so. More like "Mike" becoming a human and retiring as a computer.

Like Pinochio.
Pinocchio is itself a version of the Pygmalion myth, as is--inverted--Frankenstein. Thus do we with windlasses and with assays of bias by indirection find directions out. I guess.
You could add it; it's easy to add books to lists. At the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."
Thom wrote: "So far have unearthed 12 volumes of "Do Androids Dream" all claiming to be "by Philip K Dick". Of course , this cannot be--would that it could--given that Dick died decades ago. Peace and Blessings..."Are these volumes different books with different stories or the same book with same story with different covers? Because publishing companies have been known to repackage and re-release the same book even after an author's demise over and over.
What if the cyborg can't walk anymore?
automatic detective by Martinez is a good one
