EAC234 Assignment 1 - Helen O'loy - Mark Salvador

GENERAL

• Helen O’loy is a short SF story written by Lester del Rey and was first published in 1938.

Straying away from this, Helen O’Loy focuses on love, or artificial love for that matter where (which has never been heard of before) a robot has human emotions.
