Metalheads & Meatheads: Paul's Story - The Sophont Trilogy Greg Krojac

Spooning - the violent removal of an android's eyes - is unfortunately a commonplace occurrence. Gangs of meatheads (humans) wander the streets looking for metalheads (androids) to attack and steal their ocular trophies. Paul, a sophont android, is attacked by one such gang and is rescued - although not before being spooned - by a stranger who introduces him to a sophont rights movement. These sophont androids have had their emotion inhibitors removed and have personal autonomy of thought and deed. Free of the restrictions of his inhibitor, Paul is given a very special assignment - one that may necessitate contravening the Three Laws of Robotics that liberated sophonts still aspire to adhere to. If there is no other choice open to him, can Paul overcome his desire to cause no harm to humans and do whatever is necessary to complete his mission?
