Some of the stories are repetitive in the beginning, and the three laws seem a bit inadequate, but considering this was from the 50s, before Star Wars and Star Trek, the ideas are incredible. The last two stories, especially, are fantastic.

Noia! Ci sta il tema, storie carucce ma nulla di che. It’s a no for me, but still a classic.

Nigdy nie byłem wielkim fanem zbiorów opowiadań, ale chyba będę musiał ponownie to zweryfikować. Miło było dla odmiany poczytać coś niezobowiązującego, a opowiadania w Ja, Robot mają idealną długość na krótkie sesje czytania. Co do jakości, to było różnie. Momentami mocno przewidywalnie, ale trzeba chyba tego oczekiwać po książce mającej ponad 70 lat i będącej poniekąd prekursorem w tej tematyce. Mimo to, dochodzenia do sedna zagadek tych opowiadań wciąż były angażujące, nawet jeśli często bywały trochę naciągane. Podejrzewam, że po lekturze nowszych książek o tematyce AI, ten zbiór opowiadań może okazać się mocno niezadowalający, naiwny, lub po prostu przestarzały, ale dla mnie, jako nowicjusza stanowił fajną odskocznię.
