I Am Crying All Inside

'''Simak, Clifford. "I Am Crying All Inside."' Galaxy'' Aug. 1969. Rpt. Souls in Metal (q.v. under Anthologies).

"White trash" (as a character puts it) and old robots live on Earth in a future in which more respectable people and more modern robots have left for better worlds. Sensitively told by an old robot who knows love and a kind of "hard pride" that demands respect. Cf. and emphatically contrast P. K. Dick's ''Do Androids Dream. . . ?'' (cited this Category).
