The books (especially the early ones) are really an anthology of stories about the collapse of the galactic empire and its recovery than a specific story. It is completely different from the show. Think more "I, Robot" (again, the book not the movie).
And, yes, I think they are really good but they are idea-driven not character-driven.
- monopoledance 5y agoThanks. So, I guess the story requires some commitment, right?
- hvs 5y agoActually, each of the books are a pretty quick read. They are also good as audiobooks.
- monopoledance 5y agoPerfect. I put them on a list :)
- Baeocystin 5y agoThe funny thing about I, Robot, the movie is that had it simply used a different title, it would have been a perfectly decent sci-fi film on its own. It just had almost nothing to do with the book.
- tomnipotent 5y ago> It just had almost nothing to do with the book. That's because it was originally an unrelated screenplay titled "Hardwired", which was rewritten to include Asimov's Three Laws after-the-fact. And it shows.
- Baeocystin 5y agoI did not know that. Makes perfect sense, thanks for letting me know.
