⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ robots behaviors should not be ignored. Hence AI! A profound collection of short stories that are timeless and timely. A variable of dilemmas that ultimately become something quite terrifying. A thought provoking read of explosive ideas.

A spectacular collection of short stories, connected by the framing device of interviewing a person who has not only been involved in robotics for decades, specifically with the largest company that produces them and knows the rocky history of earlier days, but is a robopsychologist, the person with the most insight into the thinking of robots in the face of Asimov's famous Three Laws/Rules of Robotics. 1/?
“...there is nothing so eternally adhesive as the memory of power.“ Ominous AND profound
It's all relative! 😆
These poor scientists. 🫢
Oh My Gosh, this is a very well worded book. The writing style tells instead of shows, which I don‘t like, yet the story itself more than makes up for it. This is comprised of short stories. While issues are also popping up with the robots, nobody seems to really care. Because of how society “needs” the robots. This is an incredible book to be reading nowadays with how robots are becoming increasingly a part of our society.
I've never been one for physical activity, especially if it's to a practical end, so to relieve me from the tedium of mowing the lawn, we got a robomower!
In best Asimovian tradition, he's been anthropomorphised, and named Ian, after letters in his serial number. 🤖
I can take no credit for setting it up, which my practically-minded son kindly did when he visited yesterday.
Book and a glass of wine in the late evening sun? Don't mind if I do 😊
This collection of nine short stories published in 1950 is extraordinary with its vision of a future with robots. Each story could stand alone but they collectively tell a larger story. The famous “Three Laws of Robotics” first appears here. Really interesting and well-thought out. Hard to believe that this was written well before artificial intelligence was developed. Bravo!
It's been a while since I've done a #192025 update. These are the slots I've filled, in the past few months. I've completed 75 of the 106 prompts!
