They're pretty important themes, and I think a plot involving androids sounds like an awesome way to explore them. I may have to check this one out!

The relationship between the android and the human sounds like the best bit, especially since they both seem to have some preconceived notions that need some adjustments. Plus it's a short read which can be REALLY needed time to time! I'd want to start with the first book though, but I'm OCD like that XD Great review Greg^^ x Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-82987732362625459042016-05-05T09:57:49.179-07:002016-05-05T09:57:49.179-07:00Does it?

I know Asimov did the robot laws and all that but I haven't actually read them. 7000 AD sounds interesting- I would like a glimpse of a future that far off. Depending on how closely it borrows from those earlier works, would definitely affect my enjoyment I'm sure. If it's merely inspired I'm okay, but if the plot is basically the same then maybe less so- although I think the same plot can be done in interesting ways by different people. Interesting!

These books partnered the robot Olivaw with a human police officer Elijah Baley and together they solved crimes on 7,000 AD earth. Asimov used the crimes to explore the world where humans disliked and mistrusted robots and to expound on his famous three laws of robotics. Wondering if you ever read any of those and what you think of the potential liberal 'borrowing?'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707310918240804785noreply@blogger.com
