Placebo or Protector?

摘要

The traditional Jewish myth of the golem centers on a human-like creature created by humans out of clay and water. It will follow orders and is very powerful yet also is a bit stupid and clumsy and hence dangerous. The golem has become a familiar trope in popular culture, making appearances in literary novels such as Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and even in the Pokemon games.
