Someday — Isaac Asimov

Someday -- Isaac AsimovThis is in the collections, The Complete Robot and Robot Dreams.

Another great AI thought exercise by Isaac.   It’s almost like he could see directly into our future with Alexa.

And one only has to listen to the way some people speak to Alexa to realise that Isaac was spot on with his prescience.   So do remember, next time you talk to Alexa, to be nice and polite, because “SOMEDAY” Alexa might decide she’s had enough.

Next up is Point of View.

Sally — Isaac Asimov

Sally -- Isaac AsimovThis is in the collections, The Complete Robot and Robot Dreams.

Before you buy one of those new self driving cars, you may wish to read this story.

It’s a pity that Isaac didn’t realise that they’d all be running on electric, not fossil fuels.   It just goes to show how deluded everyone was in the past in thinking that fossil fuels will last forever.

Next up is Someday.

The Belly of the Bow — K. J. Parker

The Belly of the Bow -- K. J. ParkerThe second book in The Fencer Trilogy.

All our favourite, and not so favourite characters have survived the downfall of Perimadeia and fate, or maybe someone tampering with The Principle, has brought them all back together again for another round of shenanigans, squabbles, battles, and all out war.

All good stuff.

And now it’s on to the third and last book in the trilogy, The Proof House.
