Reddit reviews I, Robot

Sci-Fi Starters:

Starship Troopers by Heinlein

Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card

The Foundation series by Asimov: Foundation -> Foundation and Empire -> Second Foundation

The Robot series by Asimov: I, Robot...

I'd recommend starting with I, Robot as it lays the groundwork for a lot of his other work, including the Three Laws of Robotics. From there, I'd recommend The Robot Series. These four novels, The Caves of Steel (1953), The Naked Sun (1955), The Robots of Dawn (1983), and Robots and Empire (1985) make up the Elijah Baley series.

Buy Jupiter is a fantastic read. Start with the titular story, and work out from there.

I, Robot is another great book of short stories.

But yeah, he's written a hell of a lot.

Some of my favorites:

• Noir - K.W. Jeter
  
• Macroscope - Piers Anthony
  
• Armor - John Steakley
  
• Protector - Larry Niven
  
• I Robot - Isaac Asimov
  
• Neuromancer - William Gibson
  
• Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick
  
• The Fall of Reach (Halo) - Eric Nylund
  
• Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein
  
• Cachalot - Alan Dean Foster
  
• Islands in the Net - Bruce Sterling
  
• Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
  
• Reality Dysfunction - Peter F. Hamilton
  
  I tried to get as many different authors as possible in there. Many of those authors have plenty of really good books you shouldn't miss.

Here ya go, get this and call it a day. https://www.amazon.com/I-Robot-Isaac-Asimov/dp/055338256X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527469616&sr=8-1&keywords=isaac+asimov+robot&dpID=51GcfA8ivCL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

Changing Planes by Ursula K. Le Guin. Is probably the best example I can think of. All the stories are based on the conseat that you can get so board waiting at the airport that you accidentally shift into another dimension.

My second favourit would have to be.
Zombies vs Unicorns. A collection of stories that tries to settle the age old question of which is cooler (zombies or unicorns) once and for all.

And Issac Asimov's I Robot which is actually a collection of short stories.

The Game Elite II (Frontier) had an interesting set of background stories that hooked into each other. Such that a minor character seen in one would be come a major character in the next one. In the very first story we see young Derek Flaggherty graduation from space academy. And in the very last one we see the same now Admiral Flaggherty, falling asleep at a similar graduation ceremony. I liked it at the time I read it, but that was many years ago.

Don't miss out on short fiction! :-) The nice thing about multi-author anthologies is, you discover which authors you will want to read and invest in more thoroughly:

• The Science Fiction Hall of Fame It's in three volumes. All are good, but this first volume is not to be missed.
  
• Women of Wonder, the Classic Years
  
• Dangerous Visions
  
• Women of Wonder, the Contemporary Years
  
  Here are some definitive single-author collections arranged approximately in the order the stories were written:
  
  
• I, Robot by Isaac Asimov (It's a collection of short stories which have nothing to do with the movie.)
  
• The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke
  
• The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
  
• Cities in Flight by James Blish
  
• The Philip K. Dick Reader
  
• Time Patrol by Poul Anderson
  
• Impossible Things and/or Fire Watch by Connie Willis
  
• The Dog Said Bow-Wow by Michael Swanwick
  

Tada!

For me, hand's down. It's Asimov's [The Caves of Steel] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/bookseries/B00CKLUH32/ref=dp_st_0553293400) series. After all this time I think it holds up pretty well. I may have to go back and re-read them. Also look for I,Robot very different then the movie.

Two words: I, Robot.

Read that.

Now read it again, and focus on the significance of the essays.

Being well-read gives you a common connection or foundation with others who are similarly well-read.
Being well-read helps you develop stronger language context skills, and a more broad vocabulary which will be useful to you when you have to describe deeply meaningful topics about yourself and your dreams in 400 words or less.

Search A2C for how many interviewers or application essays asked the applicant to discuss their favorite book, or something they recently read. It's a common theme.

Ask Google how many books Bill Gates and James Mattis read in an average month.

You say you're interested in STEM. Ok, here are two books IMMENSLY popular with the nerd-crowd:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Dune

Please, don't say or think "But, I've already seen those movies..."
No movie has ever been as detailed in conveying a story as the book.

And if robots & robotics are seriously among your interests, Asimov is pretty much required reading.

I, Robot

I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

Thanks for the contest

perhaps you could get him I Am Legend and I, Robot - the novel/short stories that the movies were based on

Thank you so much for this guy. Definitely my favourite episode so far.

Have either of you read I, robot?

i would love to hear what you think of Asimove's future.

I can't speak for near term prospects, but if you're interested in potential ramifications, check out the latter stories in Asimov's I, Robot. Even assuming perfect supercomputers, it's not as clear-cut as it seems.

(also: "influence affecting it", if you care)

Well, for one, you could try to see if you like Asimov's robot stories. One collection of these is "I,Robot" which I enjoyed myself a lot. There's also a couple of full length novels (see wikipedia ) A bit of googling should find you a lot more (not only about robots) and the same holds for Clarke ofcourse. Happy reading :-)
