Title? Author? - by richjalopy on 12:38 09 Mar 2005
I am trying to remember the author or the title of a short story and it’s really bugging me. There are these tiny robots that are like crabs or spiders. They kill humans (of course) but it you are wearing a special device, they don’t notice your presents. Anyone know what I am talking about? Thanks.

This sounds very similar to the spider bots from the movie, The Minority Report, which was based on a short story of the same name by Philip K. Dick. This story has appeared in a number of places, including those below.
Fantastic Universe - Jan. 1956
The Variable Man - Ace, (1957)
The Philip K. Dick Reader - published 1987 by Citadel Twilight
The Collected Short Stories of Philip K. Dick, Volume 4: The Minority Report - Citadel Twilight, New York (1991) (order from Amazon)
