In the novel, the character Rachel, who we can almost consider a robot, constantly strives to be a "normal person" and thinks of her robotic nature as being a "woman destroyed” (123). In fact, Rachel is quite wealthy: she has a steady income and is intelligent and attractive. Why then does he want to be something different and be normal? Why does she want to be “relegated” to a “normal” human being prone to mistakes? Faced with the facts, machines surpass us in that they don't make mistakes when they're working properly, while humans make tons of mistakes, even when they're at their best. However, Rachel wants to be “human” simply because, like a robot, she is isolated from everyone else. Even though “normal” people make many mistakes, they learn from them, adapt to the future, and communicate with others as a group so that they can learn without making the same mistakes. While mistakes are not desirable, they are what connects us to everyone else and makes us human. The same could be said about sharing feelings, which Rachel doesn't have. What truly separates man from machine and places man just above? Connection – whether it is connecting to your inner being in the form of a sense of self, connecting to the abstract in the form of creativity, or connecting to the outside world in the form of social norms; connection is the only thing humans have, but machines do
