2021 in books
I think I finished this last week..? I’m not too late, is the point.
I enjoyed all the stories, but a couple more than the others. I especially liked the one featuring Powell and Donovan set on Mercury in 2015 (the years in which the stories are set are adorable), I think that that one had the perfect balance of action and reflection on robots/the laws/the limit of technology and men’s ingenuity to get out of trouble.
Susan Calvin is, of course, the character that shone the most in all the stories, but I have to say that I often found it frustrating how she was treated by the men in all but one of the stories - and the only decent guy is not even a human! Ugh.
Anyway, now that I cracked the ice with Asimov, I can say that if I ever feel like picking up something else of his, I fully expect to like it - or to at least be interested by all the reasoning behind it.
