From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"The Bicentennial Man" is a novella by Isaac Asimov. It tells of Andrew (later known as Andrew Martin), a robot that begins to display characteristics, such as creativity, traditionally the province of humans; the robot is ultimately declared an official human being (on the two-hundredth anniversary of his creation, hence the title).
The story formed the basis of the novel The Positronic Man, co-written with Robert Silverberg, and the movie Bicentennial Man, which starred Robin Williams.
The book entitled The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Asimov, including the story of the same title.
