Talk:I, Robot

I've removed the following, because I don't think the Elijah Bailey novels are sequels to I, Robot. If they are, then so is all of Asimov's "robot" SF. Onebyone 23:02, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Asimov also wrote three sequels to I, Robot: The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and The Robots of Dawn. Unlike the first book, these are not a collection of short stories but are novels dealing with Detective Elijah Bailey and his perfectly human-looking robot partner R. Daneel Olivaw. In each book, Bailey solves a mystery while overcoming his Earth-bred technophobia and fear of the outdoors.

Asimov also connected this series with his famous Foundation series.

I'm going to move the descriptions of the short stories to separate articles, as they are also included in other books. Ausir 15:27, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I've linked 'I, Robot' from 'Video game crash of 1983' in reference to the game, not the book, because the game is described on this page rather than a page of its own. Perhaps they should be separated.

frame story

Is it fair to call I, Robot a Fix-up because of the Susan Calvin frame story? Did Asimov go back and change anything to make it all fit into the structure of the book? Wl219 10:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

2002 electronica album: "I, Robot"

Ehm...I was unable to find it mentioned anywhere using google

Perhaps the unsourced statement should be removed?

I just {{fact}} tagged it, along with a bunch of other unsourced statements. I found citations for a few of the things in the Pop culture section, and I'm sure others can be found (the Star Trek references, for example, are probably legitimate), but I suspect many of the items will have to be removed as usourced original research. Once that's done, It would be nice to go through and reorganize the section a bit for better flow. Sbacle 15:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Suggested Edit

As a newcomer to Wiki editing, I do not feel I should be the one to make the edit, merely suggest it.

From the article: "The film called I, Robot starring Will Smith, was released by Twentieth Century Fox on July 16, 2004 in the United States. The film's plot is not related in any way to Asimov's short story collection; it merely contains some of his ideas about robots.[4]"

As written, this is not entirely true. The title for the movie was borrowed from the short story collection, but the majority of the concepts come from the Robot series and the Foundation series, which should be mentioned, if this statement is to be included at all. At the very least, the concept for Will Smith's detective character is a direct pull from the Robots series. That he himself has a cybernetic arm is an obvious infusing of the origional human + robot detective team into a single character. Then, the overall umbrella concept for "Vicki," the AI that decides controlling humanity's freedom is the only way to save humanity (and therefore the ultimate extension of the 3 Laws) is directly from the Foundation Series, and the fact that Olivaw himself is ultimitley the Robot that fulfills that role.

Original Name

The film was originally called "I Am Robot". When the commercials for this movie first appeared on TV, it was called "I Am Robot". They later changed it to I, Robot. Myself and a friend of mine witnessed the commercial and thought it would be a good movie to see. Upon us both later seeing the newer commercial, we both said "Wasn't it 'I Am Robot'?" 67.68.36.96 (talk) 00:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
