I, Robot

April 1, 2015

The Three Laws of Robotics, first presented in one of the nine short stories included in this collection, represent the basis of Asimov's robot universe and inspire much later robot fiction. The 2004 blockbuster film of the same name starring Will Smith, while merely inspired by Asimov's stories, exemplifies the extent to which the Three Laws have become mainstream.

tregre - Have you ever wanted to read a book about 9 different sci-fi stories of robots? Well you're in luck because I ROBOT by Isaac asimov is for you! Since there are multiple stories in this book im only going to review one, this chapter is, Robbie. Robbie is a robot who cannot talk and was bought by a Dad for a little girl, Gloria. Gloria had this robot for a while and her mother was getting worried that gloria is not make any friends because she only wants to be friends with robbie the robot. Gloria's mother then took robbie away without gloria knowing and gloria thought that he got lost. I think that the antagonist is the mother because she is trying to get rid of robbie and the protagonist is gloria because she is trying to get robbie back. Two major conflicts in the book are 1, robbie being taken away and 2, (conflict for the mom) how the mother is trying to take away robbie so gloria will make human friends. I know that conflict 2 was tried to be solved by taking gloria to New York. I absolutely loved this book for its pure creativity and how it made me scared then happy then sad so if had to rate it i would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
