Way back in 2000 or so I tried reading I, Robot and only got through the first couple of stories. After re-reading the first couple of stories I can see why I stopped reading it back then. The stories do improve as the book continues but I can't really give it a glowing recommendation. I, Robot is a collection of short stories about the gradual growth of robots in a future society... starting with robots being used to babysit and ending with machines completely running the world's economy. I guess my problem is that none of the stories are all that dramatic and end up being thought problems on why a robot acts a certain way in accordance with the laws of robotics. I enjoyed it but I guess I'm not going to be a huge Asimov fan. B
