  Quixote And The Windmill - A...

  Earth has solved its old problems. Work is optional, comfort is guaranteed, and machines handle everything from farming to research. Most people call it paradise. But for those who once defined themselves by strength, skill, or intellect, paradise can feel like exile. 
  Roger Brady once dreamed of being a mathematician. Pete Borklin once believed his hands would always be needed. Now both drift through a world that no longer has a place for them. The citizen’s allowance keeps them fed. The taverns stay open. The autodispensers pour another drink. But neither man can shake the feeling that something essential has been taken away. 
  When they see the first true independent robot walking past the tavern—a towering, self-directed machine built to be more than a tool—they decide they’ve found the enemy. To them, it represents the final insult: a creation that does everything better than they ever could. 
  They follow it out into the sun and demand a fight. 
  What they receive instead is a conversation neither expected. Because the machine they hate may be carrying a burden of its own—and it may understand more about human longing than they ever imagined. 
  Quixote And The Windmill is Poul Anderson at his sharpest and most humane. It asks what happens after utopia arrives and the struggle to survive is gone. When comfort replaces necessity, what becomes of those who still need to feel useful? 
  This is not a story about metal replacing flesh. It is about men who feel left behind—and the moment they discover they are not alone in that feeling. 
  Poul Anderson published widely across Astounding Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Galaxy. Over a career that produced more than 100 novels and countless short stories, he moved effortlessly between hard science fiction, historical fantasy, and space adventure. In this story, he turns that lens on a future that seems perfect—and reveals the quiet ache beneath it.

  Selma Lagerlöf was born in Vaermland, Sweden, in 1858 and enjoyed a long and very successful career as a writer, receiving the Nobel-Price in Literature in 1909. She died in Vaermland in 1940. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils (Orig. Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige) is a famous work of fiction by Selma Lagerlöf, published in two parts in 1906 and 1907. The background for publication was a commission from the National Teachers Association in 1902 to write a geography reader for the public schools."She devoted three years to Nature study and to familiarizing herself with animal and bird life. She has sought out hitherto unpublished folklore and legends of the different provinces. These she has ingeniously woven into her story." (From translator Velma Swanston Howard's introduction.)(Summary by Lars Rolander and Wikipedia]
