The Positronic Man — Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg

The Positronic Man -- Isaac Asimov and Robert SilverbergThis is a full length novel version of The Bicentennial Man.

As i had already read The Bicentennial Man i chose to skip this for now and get on with reading the rest of the books.   I can always come back to it later if i feel so inclined.

Next book in the series is Mother Earth.

Kid Brother — Isaac Asimov

Kid Brother -- Isaac AsimovYou can find this in Gold.

A single child family gets a sibling child-robot to hopefully tame down their unruly human child.

And things take an unexpected turn.

A good little story exploring the differences between feelings towards a real human child and a robot child, especially when one considers the behaviour of both towards their mother.

Next up is The Positronic Man.

Robot Dreams — Isaac Asimov

Robot Dreams -- Isaac AsimovYou can find this in Robot Dreams.

This is a throw back story with Susan Calvin back at work.   Not sure where it’s supposed to fit in the general timeline of things though, so i’ll just leave it where it is.

A robot is having strange dreams and Susan is called in to consider what to do about it.

Another good little story.

And the next story will be Too Bad.
