I, Robot – a Short Story by Cory Doctorow

A really quick read is Cory Doctorow’s version of I, Robot which was written as an homage to Isaac Asimov’s original series of short stories of the same name.  Doctorow’s version is part of a series of short stories called Overclocked.

So far, I’ve only read the one story, I, Robot. I haven’t seen the movie of the same name, nor have I read Asimov’s versions. Because of this, I felt like I wasn’t quite getting the whole picture of what Doctorow was getting at. The story seemed to be much too short for what he wanted to say. I’m guessing that the other stories contained in Over Clocked may tie things together for me.

The good news is that the story was very well-written and humorous, which made me interested in reading Asimov’s I, Robot stories as I was always a fan of him in my younger days.

I’ll add more here once I’ve read any more stories that relate to this series. Heck, I might even watch the Will Smith I, Robot Movie
now too!
