Predating Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (1968) by eighteen years and Robert Silverberg's "The Glass Tower" (1970) by twenty, Simak touches on the theme of artificicial or manufactured human life, and the status and rights of that life versus their creators, and how this relates to the nature of humanity itself.

What I like about some of his other works is that they border on plausible but this one simply didn't give me that same thought.
