I, Robot


Title: I, Robot
Author: Isaac Asimov
(first published in 1950)

I received this book as a gift. I was completely aware that the movie (2004) was only based on the Asimov's robots universe and the book itself has specific stories (wiki) not completely related with the one performed by Will Smith. In fact you can read about an interview to an old Dr. Susan Calvin that talks about different moments in robot's history and how she saw the evolution of the positronic brain and robots intelligence.

My favorite story was "Liar!". When you heard about a mind reader robot, your most private secrets are in danger but what is worst is not that other people know your secret, in fact is even worst that a three law guide robot try to do something about it.

I really enjoy this book, it was all that I expect from Asimov and now is one of my must have books.
