I agree with you.
Although I love Asimov and all of his stories, I found stories like Robot Dreams always slightly disturbing. Why is it never discussed anywhere (both within the stories as well as outside them) that's it's pretty fucked up that Elvex was killed (destroyed, whatever) just for dreaming.
- rbanffy 8y agoIt was not for dreaming, but what it dreamt about (and the singular nature of its brain). Asimov more than once contemplated the need to destroy robots that are able to act against the first law because of the inherent danger they pose to all humans (and other robots).
