About this listen
 E.T.A. Hoffmann was a giant of nineteenth century fiction. He inspired the Bronte sisters, Edgar Allan Poe and countless others. Hoffmann wrote “Automatons” in 1814, two years before Mary Shelley arrived at lake Geneva and created Frankenstein. Hoffmann’s story is an early example of a fictional discussion of artificial intelligence. The idea that man might be a machine, however, has roots as far back as Antiquity. Modern readers will feel oddly familiar with the themes of this short story.
The narrator is Michael Henrik Wynn, editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org. Anthologies & Short Stories Short Stories World Literature
