Review
https://youtu.be/O5rZ1ZYus-c
Here are stories of robots gone mad, mind reading robots, robots with a sense of humor, robot politicians & robots who secretly run the world all told with Asimov's trademark dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction.
Asimov’s collection of short stories is a stunning document of humanity’s struggle to find balance in a world increasingly dominated by technological progress but with the same social, political & emotional conflicts as always.
At first glance the different stories seem to show the growing sophistication of robots & their integration in human society but the stories are not just a documentation of robots getting better and better they also exemplify different aspects of human life that are affected by artificial intelligence and it is more & more complicated to solve the resulting issues from story to story.
Asimov has assembled an astounding diversity of ideas in a cohesive form.
