Killing Gramps

Schwader, Ann K. "Killing Gramps." Aboriginal S. F. Sept.-Oct. 1988: 24-28.

Gramps is a "lazarus": an android with a legal right to life; the murder involves a hoverchair, yielding the image of an android grandfather in a hovering mechanical device (see illus. by David Brian: [25]). Cf. and contrast R. Bradbury's "I Sing the Body Electric," (cited above in this Category of the List), and C-3PO hovering over the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi (cited under Drama).
