![]() ![]() Killer robots are not for the faint-hearted. If you are paranoid or believe that the current state of the world is causing you personal anguish, if the word asteroid causes palpitations, do not read further. Warning, the remainder of this text becomes progressively disturbing. I was always struck by Asimov’s ideas on psychohistory (see Further Information below), which are relevant to my What is History Series and the Mule, but that is for another day. Having enjoyed I, Robot, I need to get around to re-reading the Foundation Trilogy. I first read I, Robot and Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy when I began university a long time ago, but also a considerable time after they were first published. I, Robot is quite sufficient to gain an understanding of Asimov’s approach to and ideas on robots. I would only recommend these novels and the additional robot stories beyond those in I, Robot to an Asimov scholar. I must grudgingly admit though that it contained some interesting ideas about robots and humans. The Robots of Dawn I found to be incredibly tedious and lacking in action. ![]() I, Robot is not really a novel but a collection of previously published stories with linking text, by a fictional researcher cum writer. ![]()
