When the Gunslinger challenges the two men to a showdown, Blane treats the confrontation as a typical amusement until the robot shoots and kills him. Martin and Blane, passed out drunk after a bar-room brawl, wake up in the WestWorld bordello, unaware of the breakdown. The resort's supervisors, in increasing desperation, try to regain control by shutting down power to the entire park, but this traps them in the control rooms, unable to turn the power back on while the robots run amok on stored power. The failures increase until the robotic Black Knight kills a guest in a sword fight in MedievalWorld. Gradually, the technicians running Delos begin to notice problems spreading like an infection among the androids: the robots in MedievalWorld begin suffering an inexplicable number of systemic failures, a robot rattlesnake bites Blane, and against its programming, an android refuses a guest's sexual advances. Peter Martin, a first-timer, and his friend John Blane, who has visited previously, visit WestWorld. The guns issued to the guests also have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting each other or anything else living, but allow them to 'kill' the room-temperature androids. Thanks to its programming, humans can always outdraw the Gunslinger and kill it. One of the attractions in WestWorld is the Gunslinger, a robot programmed to start duels. Delos' tagline in its advertising promises 'Have we got a vacation for you!' The androids are programmed to act in character for each of the park's three themed 'worlds' - WestWorld (the American Old West), MedievalWorld (medieval Europe), and RomanWorld (pre-Christian Rome).

For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any fantasy, including killing or having sex with the androids. Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features androids that are almost indistinguishable from human beings. My memory of weather I liked it or not is a bit blurry although the concepts were relevant at the time. I'm pretty sure this was written for the movie or from the movie (A bit hard to tell). For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any I read this when I was very young after watching the 70's movie of the same name.
