This is my prediction as the greatest ad campaign since Apple's 1984 commercial. And if you're wondering if it's real...well I'll post the answer a bit later. Oh Screw it, it's not, it's a teaser site for the "I, Robot" Movie based on the novel by Isaac Asimov.

It's not the first Asimov based movie btw, Bicentenial man was based on "The Positronic Man"

I'm gonna reread both of them!

I, Robot wasn't a novel.

I read that this movie was actually going to be based on Caves of Steel but that doesn't seem to be the way they're marketing it. It does look like it will be based more around the introduction of the positronic robot.

All I can say is "Finally!" It's past time Asimov got the recognition in film that his books deserve. But whatever happened to U.S. Machines & Mechanical Men Corporation?

Enjoy, it was a novel that was based on interconnected stories. I read them too long ago.

But to feul the discussion, what was your first Asimov book?

Mine would be the prelude to foundation.

I have never read a book by anyone known as Aasimov. I have, however read a lot of books by Isaac Asimov. :wink: The first one being I, Robot (coincidence, no?)

Have a very nice day.

My fault, for some reason the double A in isaac got set in my mind as a double a in Asimov :oops:

I think it was Foundation. I can't say I understood a lot of it at the time, (I was very young) but I did doggedly read through the whole thing, and it even the fraction I understood was great reading.

Mine was also Prelude to Foundation...I, Robot was both a short story and novel no?
