Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt appears in I, robot? AI and consciousness as the U.S. president attacked by Ezra Pound in wartime Italian radio broadcasts. The source says those broadcasts opposed Roosevelt and American entry into the Allied war effort, contributing to Pound’s treason indictment in absentia.

The page is source-scoped to the Pound segment. Roosevelt functions as the political target that makes Pound’s wartime conduct concrete inside the episode’s Ideologically Compromised Art branch.
