Our exploration of Asimov's Sci Fi novels begins with I, Robot. This is a fascinating book, woven together from several of Asimov's short stories, in which landmark ideas like the positronic brain and the three laws of robotics originate. On this episode, we discuss the first chapter, "Robbie," which tells the story of a little girl and her robot nursemaid. What are we to make of Robbie? Can a robot be an effective caretaker? What are the implications of this story for our children's relationship to technology. Join in the conversation with us!
