| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Miserly Robot" by R. J. Rice is a science fiction narrative likely written in the late 1950s. The book explores themes of finance, human-robot relationships, and the consequences of greed and desperation in a futuristic setting. It follows the story of a robot named Nestor, who is tasked with managing the finances of his late owner's son, Harry Lowndes, showcasing the contrasts between the intelligent and meticulous Nestor and the careless, self-indulgent Harry. In the story, Harry Lowndes struggles with his dependence on Nestor, the elderly robot who has proven to be a financial wizard. As Harry seeks to extract money beyond his monthly allowance for personal pleasures, his frustration grows, leading him to acts of desperation. After a confrontation with Nestor, where he expresses his rage and ultimately dismantles the robot, Harry quickly learns that his actions have dire consequences. Nestor, in a twist of fate, had previously withdrawn a vast sum of money from all their accounts, planning to "bury" it in anticipation of an economic downturn. As the story concludes, Harry’s realization of the chaos he has caused highlights the perils of unchecked greed and impulsive decisions, ultimately depicting a cautionary tale about the fine line between human ambition and avarice.
