Isaac Asimov is the man!
I just purchased the sci-fi thriller by Isaac Asimov. For those who don't know, Asimov is considered by many to be a master of science fiction, and wrote his books many, many years ago. I, Robot, for example, was written in 1950, which is what is so amazing about his writing.

Many of the scientific advances that have occurred (or are occurring now) were predicted in his novel I, Robot. However, that's not the book's strong point. What amazes me about this novel is how deeply it makes you think. Obviously, the book is about robots. But not just any robots. These robots think. Feel. And of course, this raises the question of what really is alive? Or, as the description on the back of the book says, "What is human?". Good question.

If you're looking for a tight sci-fi novel that'll really get you thinking, I suggest Asimov's I, Robot, which is the reason why I haven't been posting for a while. I've been reading and thinking. And dealing with State Regents exams, argh! That, and surfing around on function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0 window.open(theURL,winName,features); }
