À propos de cet audio
Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world - all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asmiov’s trademark.
The three laws of Robotics: 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 orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future - a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.

In the 23rd century, pioneers have escaped the crowded earth for life in self-sustaining orbital colonies. One of the colonies, Rotor, has broken away from the solar system to create its own renegade utopia around an unknown red star two light-years from Earth: a star named Nemesis.

Soon, she will realize that Nemesis endangers Rotor as well.

The Eternals, the ruling class of the Future, had the power of life and death not only over every human being but over the very centuries into which they were born. Past, Present, and Future could be created or destroyed at will. You had to be special to become an Eternal. Andrew Harlan was special. Until he committed the one unforgivable sin - falling in love. Eternals weren’t supposed to have feelings. But Andrew could not deny the sensations that were struggling within him. He knew he could not keep this secret forever. And so he began to plan his escape.

It’s the year 2035, and robot psychologist Dr. Susan Calvin is beginning her residency at a teaching hospital where patients are being injected with diagnostic nanobots.

And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

This was my introduction to Asimov, I will definitely be checking out more.
Each short story was perfectly written and had me really pondering the different dilemmas of AI.
I would suggest this to any fan of any sci Fi genre.

Blown away by how well this holds up
If you’re unsure about picking this book up because you’re like myself and have heard about Isaac Asimov’s legacy in the world of sci-fi fiction but are weary of this book’s age:
About half-way through the book I found myself thinking “huh, this writing, sci-fi mumbo-jumbo included, holds up surprisingly well despite being written so long ago.” Then I googled it and realized it wasn’t just long ago BUT 73 YEARS AGO when it was published in 1950.
I think this book holds up absurdly well on its own but more than that I found it a fascinating insight into a sci-fi author in his 30s’ predictions for the future.
It can best be described as series of short stories discussing the various implications of building robots that adhere to 3 “fundamental laws of robotics”. It’s somewhat a detective and a thriller but it’s mostly a philosophical and ethical discussion of robotics,
Narration was quite good, not the peak of audible production that I’ve seen (e.g. using multiple actors for multiple voices) but Scott Brick does make a consistent effort to make characters sound different from one another.

Beautifully Reflective
What is there not to like, about a reality like that. Where the world and its developments are the whimsical aspect of life. In addition, how relevant to how reality is now days, where is painfully obvious, that human greedy and petty sense is the main source of our own issues. Where humans are simply their own worst and singular enemy.

Classic
Read this book as a teenager and loved it. Saw the movie and it was NOTHING like the book- a total Hollywood screwup. Listening to this book again, especially with Scott Brick as narrator (listen to his narration of Atlas Shrugged if you haven’t) - I’m reminded of why the book remains a classic.

the future 8s today
I Robot
Do robots dream of electric sheep, A.I, Bicentennial Man, Star Trek, Terminator, Ghost in the shell, Matrix and so much more in one way or another drawn from Isaac Asimov's works. I have heard him called the godfather of the Robot.
Robot in old Slavic means slave, or forced labor. In this book Asimov shows how in one lifetime mankind becomes dependent and in one way or another subservient to robots.
This is a very psychological book. With some heavy thoughts and questions mankind should discuss. Already we are very dependent on "the machine". Please understand beloved readers that no I am not saying to smash the machine. I am saying we should look at our relationship with the machine and think about how much control we want to give over to it.
This book is very different from the movie with Will Smith. Though a very good movie, it does touch on some of the book's ideologies.
This book is on my list of 100 books to read before you die. Isaac Asimov is also one of the authors that I intend to collect. I have already purchased the first book in The Foundation series and plan on collecting them all. Review's to be posted later😉😁😁😁.
He really is a fantastic writer. I find it humorous that I have met people who have never heard of Isaac Asimov. Yet his influence is still felt. Maybe now more than ever. When we live in a time of the birth of the I.A. Robots do exist!
I can say in my lifetime computers, technology, "the Machine" has grown exponentially. I often wonder: Will we grow with this machine or will the machine replace us completely. If there is reincarnation, will my next life be that of a machine? Is there a Ghost in the shell?
What was one only fantasy we are living. Things dreamed of are now a way of life. Asimov and others like him imagined a world that is now our reality. I think it's important to look back at these authors. As well as the present ones and the ones to come.
"I think, therefore I am". A quote that has many means. Like because I think I know I am real. Is taught the requirements of existence? Do rocks have thoughts? If they do are they light or heavy thoughts🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣?
What do you think? What do you know? Do you know how much you do not know? Does it matter if you know what you do not know? Does knowledge matter to you?
As ever and always I want to thank everyone involved in the creation, publication, production, distribution, and supporting both the written and audiobook format. Our future lives in our thoughts. I think my thoughts. Therefore my thoughts are real.
Yours

I am not an author of any book that I review. I have no affiliation with any organization responsible for the production and the distribution of any book I review. I am not a promoter in any way.
I am Dyslexic a disability that makes the enjoyment of reading and writing taxing. However I do believe in facing your challenges. Thus I mainly listen to Audiobooks as I work. My review's are me exercising my comprehension of the book I just listened to. In putting my thoughts in words I am attempting to better myself.
My reviews are not meant to offend. I realise that everyone has their own opinions. I will not get into dog fights over my statement.
Understand and expect spelling errors, poor grammar, and I may sometimes misuse a phrase. Pointing my mistakes can be educational. I only ask you do it with kindness.
