How could book predict the stagnation of mankind over 70 years ago! Mind blown. Love this series. Wish he wrote women better.
pickCharles is a very high end robot, made to be “the gentleman‘s gentle robot”, kind of a robot butler. He finds that he has murdered his master, but doesn‘t know why. He sends himself to Diagnostics to try to figure out why, and along the way finds that human society has collapsed and robots are somewhat aimlessly roaming what‘s left.
This is kind of a dystopian quest book, rather philosophical, and I really liked it. ⬇️
pickThis was really sweet and fun - just wished it was MUCH longer as @RamsFan1963 has already said! The world building was so well done, I‘d love to see more robot centred stories here. Did you know the merch that is sold in the book is actually available on the authors website? Brilliant. www.automaticnoodle.website
pickI didn‘t realize that cozy post-apocalyptic sci-fi was a thing, but this is that. And it was the cozy sci-fi found family story I needed! A group of food service bots power back up after a shutdown and decide to rebrand and reopen the restaurant in which they were abandoned. Alternating POVs explore the backstory of each of the bots, offering a surprising amount of depth and character development in this short novella. ⤵️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ robots behaviors should not be ignored. Hence AI! A profound collection of short stories that are timeless and timely. A variable of dilemmas that ultimately become something quite terrifying. A thought provoking read of explosive ideas.
so-soIf you ever wondered where Roz in The Wild Robot got her name, this is it. This play written in 1920 about the rise of an army of robots, and the extinction of the human race was revolutionary for its time. It has tons of melodrama, and the one woman in it certainly feels like a fake character that all the men can‘t help but fall in love with, but there are some excellent sci-fi themes about man‘s hubris that stand the test of time.
