Synopsis for "I Fought the Colossus!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Strange Tales #72

In the year 2020 the computer that governs the world secretly builds a ten story robot underground and then sends it to the surface. The humans assume that the computer has betrayed them and desires conquest so they use a magnetic device to lure the robot to a sea cliff where it topples off and is destroyed. They confront the computer as to why it betrayed them and it denies doing so. It says that it is aware that many people distrust computers so it built its replacement in a human shape to reassure people. It is growing old and will soon become defective and had to make the robot so large that it could contain all the knowledge required to make capable decisions for governing Earth. "How could you believe that I betrayed you?, when betrayal requires emotion and I, I am...a mere machine."
