The story

Simulant is set in a near-future world where "simulants", humanoid robots designed to serve humans, are governed by four immutable precepts: they cannot harm humans, modify themselves or others, disobey laws, or refuse commands from their masters. These rules are enforced by Nexxera, the company that created the simulants, to ensure their safety and obedience. Despite their widespread use in roles like caregiving and teaching, public opinion on simulants is divided, with some viewing them as helpful tools and others as potential threats to human jobs and identity.
