Science Fiction Book Review – Themes From Asimov’s Robot Series
about 4 months ago - No comments
I recently read “I, Robot,” a collection of short stories written by Isaac Asimov in 1950′s. The movie that came out a few years ago with the same title was loosely based upon some of the themes from the stories, but did not follow any particular plot in the stories.
