The stories in this collection are grouped into six sections, with each section having a brief introductory essay covering the themes and stories of that section. From the description on the publisher's site, the sections are:

"It's Alive!" is about inventors and their creations.

"Following the Money" drops robots into the day-to-day business of living.

"Owners and Servants" considers the human potentials and pitfalls of owning and maintaining robots.

"Changing Places" looks at what happens at the blurred interface between human and machine minds.

"All Hail the New Flesh" waves goodbye to the physical boundaries that once separated machines from their human creators.

"Succession" considers the future of human and machine consciousnesses – in so far as we might have one.

NB: The contents list (as visible via Kobo's preview of the ebook) indicates that the third section is actually entitled "Overseer and Servant".
