Decent science fiction.  I'd give it 6 out of 10.  Wish they had thought of a more clever way to put an end to the problem but I guess confusing men is a good a way as any.  As we look at the way our country today seems to be coordinated to move in a certain direction against the will of the people this story, altho implausible, has merit.  Always fun to see how the past looked at the future.  No one predicted cell phones let alone smart phones etc. but a robot to look completely human was no problem!
