What an unexpectedly delightful book!
I wanted to start Asimov's robot series due to the current state of AI and I was curious.
This book was filled with so many ideas and philosophical questions that scratched at itches I rarely get scratched.
There is a great selection of wholesome and heartwarming little stories contained in this short story collection, but also some horrific tragedies.
I was fascinated by the Three Laws of Robotics and how Asimov showcased all the consequences of these laws, how they were pushed to their limits, and their understanding of them challenged. The entire book constantly reinforces the Three Laws, and for a little while I found it annoying, but after reaching the end, I am glad it was so repeatedly brought up.
This book, about robots, brought so many new perspectives, insights and understandings of what it is to be human. Which is unbelievably ironic 🤣
Please put this book on your TBR and stick with it, trust in it to make you feel grateful of life and of the beautiful genius imagination that was poured into it.
