Help me remember the name of this short sci-fi story, /lit/.
It's about the last man on mars, where he set up all these automatons to walk around as though they were people, and they call him up and the phone and stuff. They wind up driving him crazy.
It's probably by Bradbury, but I don't think it's part of The Martian Chronicles.
Does this ring any bells?
