Robot Visions — Isaac Asimov

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

A not too intelligent robot is sent into the future to see if time travel is possible, and it is instructed to report back what it finds: if it actually gets back.

So, spoiler, it does get back and tells the humans about it’s visions of the future.

You’ll have to read the story if you want to know more.   It’s good though.

Next up is Robot Dreams.

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.
