Talk:Robot series

message: There was a short lived series of books based on Robot series with the title Isaac Asimov's Robot City written by other writers.
The usual stuff. Some greedy editor using Asimov's fame (the books have introductions written by Asimov, but i don't know if they were written especially for this books).
Odyssey (1987) by Michael P. Kube-McDowell; Suspicion (1987) by Mike McQuay; Cyborg (1987) by William F. Wu; Prodigy (1988) by Arthur Byron Cover; Refuge (1988) by Rob Chilson; Perihelion (1988) by William F. Wu.
There were plans for more 6 books but AFAIK they were never published or even written.
:There were more (Robots and Aliens, Robots in Time etc.). They are already mentioned under "Other authors". Ausir 11:26, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: The I, Robot episode of Outer Limits is based on Eando Binder's short story, I, Robot, and is unrelated to Isaac Asimov; except that the title for Asimov's first collection of robot stories was "borrowed" from Binder's short story (Asimov initially objected to this). See the Eando Binder page for more info.

message: I haven't read the article, but would it be possible to break the spoilers into a subsection of the article, leaving the majority spoiler-free?  It just seems more useful if the ENTIRE article isn't barred behind a spoiler warning. Anne 23:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mark Tiedemann's Robot Books? 

message: I took the liberty of removing the following remark:
*This series and the ideas set forth in them defined the Robot's place in modern science fiction, the stereotype he created appearing everywhere from Star Wars to Alien and Bladerunner, to name a few popular examples.
I fail to see any particular connection between Asimov's robots and those of Aliens and Blade Runner, besides them being robots (more or less) with artificial intelligence. They certainly are not subject to the three laws, the replicants are not even robots in the conventional sense of the word, and they are based on the works of Philip K. Dick, who takes the concept in a completely different direction. And if neither of these apply to Asimov's "stereotype", then it can hardly be said to have defined the robot's place in modern science fiction. I may have missed something (it's not as if I have read all of Asimov's robot stories), but if reinstating said comment, please back it up with some argument.

replies: text: I agree, the section as it was worded was innacurate and POVish, removing it was a good call.  However, such ideas as the Positronic Brain and the Three Laws have became very widely known and used outside of Asimov's stories; in fact, he coined the term "robotics."  I think it's worth mentioning the effect the series has had, albeit in a more accurate manner. -- Macduff (talk) 23:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Should a list of the novels be included? If all of them are listed on this page, it's not in one place like it is on the Empire series page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov%27s_Galactic_Empire_Series). Title/year info can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_Trilogy in the List of books within the Foundation Universe section. Mill1352 (talk) 15:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The lead says there are 38, while the article for The Complete Robot lists 37. Is it 37 or 38? And if it is 38, what is the 38th story? Oornery (talk) 06:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: When a 38th one is mentioned, it's the connective text in I, Robot. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 03:07, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  How many short stories are in the Robot series? 

message: U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men has no notability outside of the Asmiov stories. It could be usefully shortened and merged here as one of the recurring elements of the "Robots" series. --Wtshymanski (talk) 22:46, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
