Post other characters that would be robots if alive now
GRAND DAD

He's not smart. Anyway the character is just an ersatz don quixote.
What would you consider Holden Caulfield? He's not exactly robot, but he's definitely as resentful as one, and he's is very critical of woman sexuality

That's what makes him a robot. Thinking you're some genius despite all evidence pointing the contrary, and chronic underachievment, is text book r9k manchild.

Also, what would be the ideal robot book? I think robots are probably the most misunderstood group of people, in regards to both people on the outside and the people within. People think of robots as lazy and disguisting people who don't want to make their lives any better, while robots constantly, but understandably, make themselves the victim of an unfair life. It's an interesting dynamic, but writing a book about it would be difficult. Like should a book about robots end on a happy note? If it does, then it doesn't really encapsulate the life of a robot, its just another feel good normie story. If its a tragedy, I guess nothing really changes, and theres no real point in tell a story like it. What do you think?
main character from white nights or notes from the underground
>drug addict
>hangs out with internet nerds
>we r legun
>used to be NEET by using his hacking skills
>would rather sell drugs and stay NEET than get a real job after he can't hack anymore
>bad hygiene
>broke
>no car
>after he became a complete failure in America he moved to Japan
>unpleasant, but not a complete social fuckup
>agoraphobic
however:
< has a qt meth addicted gf
< gets a new gf after the old one gets murdered
< goes to space
< has a marketable skillset
Overall I'd say Case from Neuromancer is pretty robotic. Maybe a cyborg though.

Here is a good list of /r9k/ books to explore

Dune. Protagonist is a manlet, but manages to get a QT and lead a revolt against normies.
Underground man

Considering how many traps are on this board Orlando should be on there too.
