2023 reread: ⭐️: 5 / 5
“ ‘Since when is the evidence of our senses any match for the clear light of rigid reason?’ “
➡️ linear timeline
👥 POV: multiple first person
🐌 Pace: medium
💭 We learn of the history of robots through the lens of Dr. Susan Calvin the chief robopsychologist. This is my second time reading this book.
What I liked:
- More like a collection of short stories with a framing story added later
- Robbie and Herbie
- Each story follows a different robot
- The adventures of Donovan and Powell
What I wasn’t a fan of:
- Nothing
The first time I read this book was in early 2022, just before I started my bookstagram acount. I loved this book then, and I love it still now. I hope to continue into more of the robot series and eventually other of Asimov’s works.
