Autonomous

Military and service robots with legal indenture contracts, identical to those humans sign.

Work off the debt. A robot earns autonomy after years of service; so does a human, under the same statute. The book's argument is that granting machines personhood without abolishing indenture simply widens the category of who can be owned.

Capital captures it — Nothing is abolished. The gains are simply owned by someone.

The sharpest legal thinking in the catalogue. Read alongside All Systems Red, which reaches similar conclusions by being funny instead.
