Hello

Hello & Welcome
ugh face

I’m currently rebuilding the website as the old one got totally messed up when i was playing around with things (no idea what happened).

So i thought that while it was a total clusterfuck mess of SQL, i would take the opportunity to give it a whole new life and everything.

So if you go clicking on things you might find that very strange things happen. Don’t moan, i know a lot of things are broken, i’m working on it, it takes time.

I’ve got tons of old posts and pages from three websites that i’m working through and will be gradually posting all the stuff i want to keep on here while fixing all the broken things as i go through, one post, one page, at a time.

On top of doing all that, i will, of course, be continuing to add more new content and my latest posts will always appear directly below.

Or, if you prefer, you can also follow me on Twitter and Pinterest where i put a link to all new posts.

Enjoy


Mother Earth — Isaac Asimov

Mother Earth -- Isaac AsimovIt’s in the collection, The Early Asimov.   Don’t spend a lot of money on it because you should be able to find a copy of this novella on it’s own around the internet somewhere.

After all the robot stories, we skip forward many years until humans have colonised lots of far flung systems.

Earth is overcrowded and under resourced so many people are wanting to go to the new frontiers, but the frontier has banned all immigration and won’t accept any more people from Earth.

But someone on Earth has a plan, the “Pacific Project”.

Another good story.

Next up is The Caves of Steel

The Bicentennial Man — Isaac Asimov

The Bicentennial Man -- Isaac AsimovYou can find this in The Complete Robot, The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories and Robot Visions.

This novella was later rewritten into a full novel, The Positronic Man, so you can either read both or just one of them.

Originally, U S Robots would sell robots to customers, but later changed to simply leasing them so they could maintain total control over what happened to their robots, recall them, modify them, replace whole model lines completely, etc..   But what ever happened to those that they sold and were never traded in for an upgrade?

This is the story of one such robot.

Another super good robot story.

Next up in the robot line is Robot Visions.
