Briarpatch Bookclub: I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

Hey All! Pardon the delay but here is my review for the classic science fiction I, Robot.

** spoiler alert ** Classics are classics for a reason. I, Robot was visionary for its time and that carries through to today. The collection of interconnected short stories paved the way for future authors. The stories themselves range from the heartfelt tale of Robbie, the mute nanny robot, to the sinister tale of the little lost robot. It makes me wonder what Asimov would have been writing about today if he saw how far we’ve come. Overall, fascinating world, likable characters, and relevant content.
