Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Positronic Man is a Novel written by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg, first published in 1992 and based on Dr Asimov's story, "The Bicentennial Man". Unlike the previous two collaborations, Silverberg doesn't add new chapters to this Novelization, instead lengthening each individual chapter by adding in Narrative Filigree in the form of additional character quirks and Worldbuilding.Certain details are changed or clarified, such as Andrew Martin being originally the robot model NDR-113, and how being the inventor of the field of prosthetology brought with it incredible fame. Despite this, his struggle to be recognized as human is still hard-fought and risks disastrous consequences in failure. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| The Positronic Man / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: While expanding from "The Bicentennial Man", some of the names change, although they're supposed to represent the same characters. George Martin is called George Charney here, keeping his father's last name instead of his mother's. This has a direct effect on the Feingold law firm, which becomes Feingold and Charney instead of Feingold and Martin. When meeting representatives of US Robots for the first time, robopsychologist Merton Mansky is replaced by robopsychologist Merwin Mansky. | |
