So brilliant were his Robot stories that the ‘Rules of Robotics’ have ceased to have any ‘copyright’ value and are more or less considered obligatory to follow for anyone writing fiction involving robots (assuming Terminator-style killer robots are left out of the picture). The length of reading long outlasted the boyfriend, I have to say (which was not a bad thing).Īsimov is, without doubt, in the very top pantheon of influential sci-fi writers. A discussion with my daughter’s boyfriend a couple of years ago who was a big sci-fi fan (and Asimov in particular) drove me to dig out the books and read again, this time in chronological order of the story-telling. My Foundation books have sat on my shelves since I was young, read long ago, but awaiting a re-read along with many other classics.
