- DCoder 11y agoThe short lived "Team Knight Rider" series had a somewhat similar moment - the mechanic was working on the team's AI-equipped cars and talking to them, when the cars stopped talking back. [1] Mechanic: "Why won't you answer me?" Terrorist appears next to him: "Because it's just a car, you freak." [1]: https://youtu.be/xOv1-GiWSh0?t=7m15s https://youtu.be/xOv1-GiWSh0?t=7m15s

- skrebbel 11y agoEntirely off topic, but my copy of "I, Robot" has a picture of Will Smith on it and the tagline "One man saw it coming". This means that the cover has no relationship with the content whatsoever. Neither Will Smith's character, nor anyone "seeing it coming", is featured in the novel. It's a lovely reminder of how publishers will do anything to sell more copies. (and how there's really hardly any harm in that!) (except that it's an ugly cover)
