About this audiobook

Summary

A battered Iowa farmer buys a domestic android to hold his family together after his wife's death—but the machine does something no machine should. When a tornado forces the HL-7 unit to defy its programming to save two children, a corporate examiner discovers the android is building something unprecedented inside itself: a self. Now the Sallis family must fight a billion-dollar corporation in court to prove that their farmhand, their caretaker, their Henry, is more than property.
