In "I Am Not Human!", a humanoid robot flees his creator’s lab, taking on a human guise with an artificial face and clothing to live among people. As he witnesses the cruelty and indifference humans show one another, his faith in humanity crumbles—until he strips away his mask and returns to the lab, leaving the final, haunting question hanging in the air.
