This morning my sister-in-law and I were talking about books which we'd read as kids, and which we had been looking for and rereading again as adults. There was one which she'd so far had no luck finding, mainly because her memory of it was so fragmentary. I offered to post a query here, in the hopes someone in the greater international DW Forums community might just recognize the few scraps she remembers and let us know what it actually is. So...
She thinks the title was something like "Rhodium Robots" or "Rhodium-Plated Robots". What little she recalls of the plot revolves around someone creating robots which were so good at what doing everything that humanity essentially died off from ennui or pointlessness or the like. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting one or two other points; I'll have to check with her and if I did forget something, I'll add it here. In the mean time, I'll just note that she's already done all the common-sense first steps, like google and the like. This is a last-resort, throw a line out at random kind of thing.
Thanks.
