Talk:Robots in literature

== Early uses = The Steam man " of Elis is from 1868 not 1865 the Jewish stories of the the Golem of prague GOING BACK  TO THE 1830S

Maybe add: And Ozma of Oz as the first-ever introduction of a humanoid-appearance mechanical man that would satisfy the later "humanoid robot" definition is just plain ridiculous. Usually when some American talks about something "first ever" or "worldwide" you can safely add or replace by "in the USA" to fix it, but in this case the E. S. Ellis Steam Man ... seems to even invalidate that claim. I would nominate Hoffmann's The Sandman in its place, at the very least, though I haven't read Lukian yet. Also, when making such a claim it would be mighty helpful to state the criteria. --BjKa (talk) 21:46, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
