Make up for your previous thoughts

It's actually quite funny, because the first time I read Asimov's novel was in an English textbook.

Talking Robot Company developed a home robot, and then gave it a trial to employees before it was in circulation. Who knew that the employee's wife fell in love with the robot in the process of getting along with the robot.

Sci-fi romance with a touch of classical style, it made me fall in love at the time.

Then bought Asimov's short series of robotics, The Gods Himself, which were all fun. Only later did I watch the Three-Body Problem, Beijing Folding and the like.

Because I read the novel before, I felt like I was watching a movie with spoilers. In the end, Robot Revolution was shocked when I read the book, and now I feel that the stunt presentation is still simple.

But the core, or the thought, can be felt across time and space. We still do not have super artificial intelligence, the ethical debate between humans and machines continues, and the technical black box problem has not yet been resolved.

Probably the most unbearable thing is that the heroine keeps pouting and shocked face, which is too inconsistent with the ruthless and only love robot scientists in the novel.

The male protagonist is Will Smith, a fictional character in a movie? I think he is quite handsome without a prototype. Fashion is indeed a circle. I like his leather jacket, melon hat, and Converse?

Humans are indeed not the masters of creation.

In the face of ignorance, the gods themselves remain silent.

    It's not bad to look at it again.

I, Robot quotes

  • Detective Del Spooner: [Sonny has Calvin head-locked with a gun to her head] Let her go.

    Sonny: By the time you fire, I will have moved Dr. Calvin's head into the path of your bullet. I will escort you outside to the sentries for processing. Please proceed to the elevator, Detective. I would prefer not to kill Dr. Calvin!

    [he winks, Spooner realizes he's bluffing, and both Spooner and Sonny open fire on VIKI's NS5's]

    Susan Calvin: [as they escape] I'll assume we'll discuss what just happened later?

  • Lawrence Robertson: Prejudice never shows much reason.
