Tom started reading science fiction in 1950, when it was just emerging from the pulp ghetto, and sold his first story in 1957, just before he turned twenty-one.

An interesting story. And a poignant comment from you. Once again, I am taken by the warmth in your voice and the glimpses of your personality, and tonight, your reality. Both of my parents passed away, my mother two years ago, my father six months later. One of my brothers and my sister lived with them and cared for them. I know, especially in my fathers case,a Clark would have been a great help. Anyhow—thanks for reading me a story while I washed the dishes and wiped down the stove, the table, the cluttered counters.

i am listening to a lot of audio drama, and while listening to this story, it took me a while to realize this this was not an audio drama. the voice was so well done.
(spoiler warning)
i would have taken on that lawsuit because if robots have rights to a pleasing name and appearance then they should be choosing their names and appearance themselves...
