You can find this in (I, Robot), (The Complete Robot) and (Robot Visions)
In this little story we’re off to Mercury for another quick lesson in how the three laws of robotics work, and how they can cause some serious problems when a human gets a bit careless about the orders they give a robot.
Good little story, rather enjoyable.
Next up is going to be, Reason.
I finally reach the end of this trilogy.
For the most part i’ve enjoyed the whole trilogy, but there are some annoying bits. Like in this book: how did Cadmium know that Susan and Nate would be walking through that park at that time to set up their ambush? She’d only just managed to rescue Nate and escape and even Susan had no idea how that was going to happen until, by a freak chance, it did. So all rather ridiculous if anyone is asking what i think.
And it just so happens that there’s a jogger who saves her who is a super handsome god type who convinces Susan (who knows she’s seriously plain Jane) that he thinks she’s totally beautiful and seduces her into rampant sex. Well it was obvious from the start what was going on, but super intelligent, genius Susan couldn’t see it until it was basically slammed into her face by Jake. Once again, ridiculous.
But, if you can overlook the ridiculous it’s not too bad a story and we do get some good history on the beginning of humanoid robots and how Susan Calvin became the world’s first robo-psychologist.
Now, thankfully, i can return to Isaac to read the real stuff.
Bye for now.
Another book that i used for typing practice over at TypeLit.
It’s rather an enjoyable way to read a book, while at the same time being incredibly useful in improving ones typing.
As to the typing experience, it’s a quagmire of punctuation and capitalisation due to most of the book being in dialogue, which are obviously very useful skills to practice. So i present it to you, totally recommended, as both a great read and also great typing practice: what’s not to like?
