I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
4.0
There’s something weirdly nostalgic and comforting about reading a book about robots.
This was my first Asimov and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t as “hard sci-fi” as I expected which was interesting. Also the framing narrative was nice. He deserves a lot of credit for dragging sci-fi out of the pulp fiction dumps of the early 20th century. I’m excited to read more of his work, but I’ll never understand how one of the New Wave’s primary progenitors was also one of its most vehement denouncers.
