Short story in a science fiction anthology. (Can't remember which one. Sorry.)

A hard-hitting story that would have warmed Susan Calvin's heart. It was excessively emotional, rather biased against mankind (rightly so). But that bit of passion made it more humane. A strange word in this context, but it applies well.

Very interesting short story on a robot raising a young robot in a short time period.

(Shivers) Humans are jerks. Seriously and truly. Robot stories almost always show just how terrible humans are in regards to our lack of caring about the feelings of others that we dismiss as having no feelings or equal worth. This short follows Javier, a self-replicating robot as he teaches his off spring to survive. Definitely interested in the vN series now!
