An observation on the value (or lack thereof) of human labor.

In a future world, Rossum’s Universal Robots look just like humans, but are stronger, smarter and less expensive labor than humans. When the robots learn to feel the pain of working for no pay while humans live a life of leisure, a hostile robot rebellion begins.
