A review by nuk
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
4.0
I was very eager to read this book.
After finishing all foundation related books, I really wanted to go back and see how this whole universe begun.
The book is great and is indeed just a bunch of tales connected by a character-narrator. It helps to understand how earth evolved around robots and interstellar travel and culture begun among mankind.
It also makes me sad about the movie, that although I liked as an action movie could have been something more in the lines of Benjamin Button or Forrest Gump, which would be more faithful to the concept and much more interesting.
Some of the downsides of the book, is again this feeling that the Asimov universe is not quite well put together. I know it's hard to keep cohesion on a 30.000 years span, but some core ideas explored during the foundation series (and othe books) are very much thrown to ground in some of the concepts here presented.
