A review by emilyb_chicago
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

4.0

By far the best part of this book to me, was seeing the foundations of science fiction robotic stories. Some of the short story dynamics were uncomfortable with today’s standards, however, the mental gymnastics in the stories were just as fascinating now as they were 90 years ago when they were written.

The short stories in this collection are independent, so you can easily dip in an out, or choose to read just a couple. If you are going to read just one, I suggest you pick up Evidence.


Quote I like from the introduction: “50 years is a long time. Not when you are looking back on them.”
