Asimov paints us a fresh and concise plot with a message behind his short stories. This was before the genre was congested with thousands of novels and novels about conquering the planets wasn’t every other novel’s plot. CAMPBELL, JR, who godfathered THE ROBOTS The story entitled Robbiewas first published as Strange Playfellowin Super Science Stories. Known as the father of science fiction novels, Asimov lives up to that moniker. We will be the ones programming the robots and can make them solve problems we cannot. Who knows if that’s how it will be but he does make a good point. These ideas are thought provoking and I have to say, this world Asimov speaks of sounds great. 'Nightfall' was chosen the best science fiction story of all time by the Science Fiction Writers of America. He won three additional Hugos, including one awarded posthumously for the best non-fiction book of 1995, I. He believes robots won’t steal jobs from people but instead utilize them efficiently so there will be jobs for everyone and world hunger will not exist anymore. Asimov also wrote a series of robot books that included I, Robot, and eventually he tied the two series together.

What is more interesting is that Asimov tackles one argument that has been thrown at robots and explains how it isn’t going to be an issue. In I, ROBOT, Isaac Asimov re-envisions the challenge posed in what is arguably the first example of a science fiction novel, Mary Shelleys FRANKENSTEIN. We have been fighting forever amongst each other and in the book, the age of robots brings peace. Asimov thinks robots are great and believes the problem is and always has been humans. The concepts the novel juggles with are fun and interesting.
