The Bicentennial Man

"The Bicentennial Man" is a novella by Isaac Asimov. It tells of a robot that begins to display characteristics, such as creativity, traditionally the province of humans; the robot is ultimately declared an official human being (on the two-hundredth anniversary of his creation, hence the title).

The story formed the basis of the novel The Positronic Man, co-written with Robert Silverberg, and the movie Bicentennial Man, which starred Robin Williams.

The book entitled The Bicentennial Man is a collection of short stories by Asimov, including the story of the same title.
