In a small factory in the middle of the desert, thousands of slave robots work processing information. They are being watched all the time by another robot. One of the slave robots, identified as ?R4?, stops working for a moment and notices that all his fellow robots are in a frenzy of work. He immediately receives an electric shock by an overseer robot, who forces him to return to work. Under strict surveillance R4 experiences a sudden hallucination in which he flies into an open space between floating numbers. When he returns from his vision, he decides to fight for his freedom.
