Book Review – ‘I, Robot’ by Isaac Asimov – 4.5 Stars
If you haven’t read the book, but have seen the movie, try to forget it completely. While the movie was a lame excuse to fuse two of Hollywood’s favourites (Will Smith and CGI), the book is a fantastic study into psychological complexities given a basic behavioural framework. The book is broken down into nine short stories, each detailing an apparent breakdown in one of the (now well-known) three laws of robotics, and the unexpected outcomes and resolutions of each. This book revolutionised the science fiction genre and is a must read for anyone interested in robotics, psychology, or artificial intelligence.
