Summary

"Benefactor" by George H. Smith is a science fiction tale that dives into the complex relationship between humans and technology. The story centers on Jacob Clark, an inventor whose robot creations, meant to help society, instead cause widespread job loss and anger. Facing a violent mob, Clark accidentally uses a time machine and finds himself a thousand years in the future and learns that robots now dominate the world, with humans gone. Tragically, he's mistaken for a broken robot and destroyed by the very machines he invented. This is a cautionary tale about the unforeseen dangers of innovation and the conflict between inventors and their inventions.
