I, Robot

[xabumtik]

I went to see the movie I, Robot last night. It was very enjoyable, even though it probably had Dr. Asimov spinning in his grave.

It had elements of his robot stories. The Three Laws of Robotics & the Frankenstein complex.

The stories that I saw in the movie were Isaac Asimov's "Robot Dreams" & "Little Lost Robot" & Jack Williamson's "The Humanoids"

I don't know if anyone else has read "The Humanoids", but if you have, I'm sure you know what part of the movie I am talking about.

wait wait! I haven't seen it yet! Where can I read "The Humanoids"?

I bought my copy on Amazon.com a few years ago. I had read the story by getting the book from the library 15 or 20 years ago. Best bet is check your local library if not available there try for an inter-library loan.
