I, Robot

[nemorathwald]

Scientists today detected a slight wobble in the earth's orbit. It was determined to be caused by Isaac Asimov spinning in his grave. I was seriously annoyed when I saw the trailer to I, Robot and realized it was yet another modernity-phobic action movie. The book I, Robot was a thoughtfully philosophical collection of detective stories about the communion of mindkind. Just like with Paul Verhoeven's film of Heinlein's Starship Troopers, the director of the film probably never read the book.
