A Casual Ramble About I, Robot

Howdy, Casual Ramblers!

Isaac Asimov has done it again. Just when I felt a little let down with Foundation and the Earth, he picks me up with I, Robot. Truth be told, reading the Foundation series without reading the Robot series felt like a mistake. But that’s something I would like to discuss in a different ramble.

For now, I have three things from I, Robot that remind me why I love Asimov as a writer. It’s a little bit of a bullet-point list, but I suppose that will do as I work to find my critical voice again.

P.S. Yes, I do hate the movie “adaptation” starring Will Smith. It’s a good movie on its own. But don’t plunder a sci-fi classic to justify your bland screenplay. C’mon.

About The Casual Rambler

An insane man moonlighting as a respectable member of society from Portland, Oregon. A rock ‘n’ roller since his mother first spun The Police’s “Roxanne,” Ben is a lover of all things independent music. Once upon a time, a friend told him to write about music. So he started doing that under the title of a Willie Bobo cover by Santana. Now he just casually rambles about whatever crosses his mind.
