THE MACHINE AND THE CARETAKER

In a city in southern China, in Guangdong, a hotel is preparing to open its doors without any human staff: at the reception there will be humanoid robots, luggage will go up to the rooms on silent wheels, dinner will come from a kitchen managed entirely by algorithms and interactions with other robots.
