Chi era il nonno dei robot? Il Golem è forse uno dei più antichi esseri artificiali leggendari: un gigante di argilla creato, su ispirazione divina, da un rabbino, in aiuto degli Ebrei di Praga; un enorme fantoccio che si anima sono quando in fronte gli viene inciso il completo Nome di Dio. In un primo tempo il Golem ubbidirà agli ordini, ma poi comincerà ad avere vita propria, a essere invaso dalla malinconia, a sentirsi solo e diverso. E tra mito, filosofia e fantascienza, la sua storia avrà un finale fiabesco.
