Personal Attendant Android
These androids were often the everyday companion of a well-to-do ancient person, such as a business owner, musician, film star, popular writer, or other person of some renown. These units served as confidants, porters, biographers, secretary, media-liaison, butler, maid and masseuse all in one. They were also designed to serve as a passable lover and always have fully operational, reproductive organs applicable to their gender, but would also fulfill the role as body guard should the need arise.

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'The Last Man Who Knew Everything: #ThomasYoung' by Andrew Robinson, foreword by Martin Rees.

No one has given the #polymath Thomas Young (1773–1829) the all-around examination he so richly deserves—until now. Celebrated #biographer Andrew Robinson portrays a man who solved mystery after mystery in the face of ridicule and rejection and never sought fame.

This #biography is the fascinating story of a driven yet modest hero who cared less about what others thought of him than for the joys of an unbridled pursuit of knowledge—with a new foreword by Martin Rees and a new postscript discussing #polymathy in the two centuries since the time of Young. It returns this neglected genius to his proper position in the pantheon of great #scientific thinkers.

Whew, the job of the #biographer is a difficult one:

Going through sources and carefully citing everything is a lot more work than it seems! It doesn't look like much, but it's taken me a while to write this much about #TheMexicanRunner. #NESMania was quite a thing!

And I still haven't even gotten into his actual speedrunning records.
