The positronic brain of robot RB-34(Herbie) has an unforeseen 'extra': he can read human thoughts.

He has insured against death of his personality by arranging mutual "Contact" contracts with his relatives. He is already host to his late father with whose memories and prejudices he has now learned to live. He himself is a responsible parent of twins whose Contact he will arrange when they are of age.
