  The Velvet Glove - Robots and...

  The Velvet Glove by Harry Harrison is a sharp, thought-provoking tale that examines what it truly means to be human. First published in Fantastic Universe in 1956, the story follows a robot named Jon Venex, built to serve humanity in a society where machines have begun to think, feel, and perhaps surpass their creators. When Jon meets a human woman who sees beyond his metal shell, the story becomes both a love story and a quiet tragedy about prejudice, purpose, and identity. With crisp dialogue and a touch of irony, Harrison explores the uneasy relationship between man and machine—long before artificial intelligence became a common theme in science fiction. 
  Like much of Harrison’s early work, The Velvet Glove blends social commentary with pulpy adventure energy. It reflects his fascination with how technology reshapes ethics and emotion, and how progress can expose the flaws in human nature. Beneath the futuristic surface lies a timeless question: if a machine can feel compassion, who is truly more human? 
  Harry Harrison (1925–2012) was an American author best known for his wit, imagination, and biting satire. Born in Stamford, Connecticut, he served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II before turning to writing and illustrating for pulp magazines. He gained fame with the Stainless Steel Rat series—rollicking space adventures featuring a charming rogue—and with Make Room! Make Room! (1966), the grim novel that inspired the film Soylent Green. 
  Harrison’s work often mixed humor with moral inquiry, challenging the militarism, greed, and hypocrisy of modern life while celebrating intelligence and individuality. Whether through a rebellious con man or a soulful robot, his stories reminded readers that humanity’s greatest strength—and weakness—lies in its capacity to choose compassion over control.
