I, Robot Rezensionen: In this collection, one of the great classics of science fiction, Asimov set out the principles of robot behavior that we know as the Three Laws of Robotics. Here are stories of robots gone mad, mind-reading robots, robots with a sense of humor, robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world, all told with Asimov's trademark dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction.
ein gutes Buch! Ich habe mir dieses Buch zwar nachdem ich den Film gesehen habe gekauft, dennoch wusste ich aus etlichen Rezensionen, dass der Film nur die Struktur des Buches übernommen hat, aber eine ganz neue Geschichte erzählt. So erwartete ich kein Buch zum Film, sondern eher kleine Geschichten über Roboter, die so ähnlich aufgebaut sind wie dieser. Nachdem ich das dritte Kapitel des Buches „Runaround" , in dem erstmals eine Robotergeschichte erzählt wird, gelesen hatte, wurden meine Erwartungen erfüllt. Kurze Geschichten, in denen es sich um Konflikte zwischen Robotern und Menschen handelt, die auf fälschliche Programmierung der 3 Gesetze basieren. Doch leider zieht sich diese Struktur fast durch das ganze Buch, was ich etwas schade finde. Dennoch schafft es Asimov die Spannung aufrecht zu erhalten, da immer andere Lösungswege zum beheben des Problems führen. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, dass dieses Buch nur aus sechs kurzen Geschichten und zwei Einleitungskapiteln besteht, und ich daher euch rate, lieber das Buch „The Complete Robot" von Isaac Asimov zu bestellen, da dies auch die Geschichten von I, Robot enthält.
one of the best books i have ever read! First, i didn't want to read it, because i actually don't like science fiction. But then I decided to try, and it wasn't a mistake at all! It's book of short stories, all about robotics and the famous three laws: 1. A robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existance as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. There ist for example a little girl, who loves her robot more than anything else in the world, or a telepathic robot, who can read minds, and isn't easy to be "defeated", and many more. I think you have to love them stories!!! And even the grim Susan Calvin, the main person in the book is loveable in some kind! Even if you aren't sci-fi fanatic (like me)!!!!
Dissapointing This book is a collection of short stories about robots. They are put in order from the first robots to the more complex ones. However, the plots and the stories mainly center in people trying to fix glitches based on the first three robotic laws. The robots themselves, act like humans on one side, on the other side, have characteristics that can't compare with computers today, for example, a robot called "The Brain" took 17 days in feeding the information from like 50 encyclopedias, thing that with today's technology takes about 2 minutes. All in all, I found Asimov's notions and assumptions about robotics, quite outdated.
The book that launched a millions minds ... Without 'I, Robot' would there have really been any truely entertaining robot oriented science fiction? Asimov was one of the few writers who had enough grounded realism to convincingly portray mankind coping with his own inventions as they mature and change the function of society. Daringly, he used a woman as the main influence and creative force. Unlike the trashy, yet popular, sci-fi writing we are given the experince of logic coexisting with emotion, structure facing decay, and the future influence created from current events within the fictional timeline. Kudos to all those who can enjoy and value this collection of short stories despite the unpolished presentation of ideas. If it weren't for these stories, all robots would be mere mindless creatures on continuous rampage...which is nearly as tedious as the current 'soulful human' robots sapily depicted in the more recent sci-fi ramblings.
An excelent collection of stories This book brings most of Asimov's fantastic imagination and vision of the future. It is a collections of robot stories that he writted in separeted and mended all together, forming a great book. The stories are trully fascinating.
