Posted by michael on from the cowboyneal's-love-is-real-but-he-is-not dept.

Ant writes "One line synopsis -- Winner of over 23 awards, 'Robot Stories' is science fiction from the heart, four stories in which utterly human characters struggle to connect in a world of robot babies, robot toys, android office workers, and digital immortality." There are a few reviews available.

    Any idea when this will start showing on the other side of the pond?

    The stories look very interesting, a move away from soldier-fighting-eliminator machines and back towards Asimov's humane robots. I'd certainly like to see it.

    Normally you see the complete opposite story.
    A robot trying to live/adapt to a human environment.
    Bicentenial man (probably spelled that wrong)
    Data (from Star Trek TNG)
    Short Circuit (who doesn't know this one)
    Countless Anime series and movies (Chobits is my favourite, GO BUY IT)

    The only series/movie that comes to mind is the (Ani-)Matrix, but that one doesn't really fit the bill either.

    Data will always be my favorite android!

    Naww, I like Ash from Alien. It shows the dark side of artificial intelligence. We can't guarantee that all makers of all robots, or those that control them, will adhere to the "no harm to humans.." Golden Rule.

    Download it and then try to find a legal copy. That's what I often do... In my opinion, if they don't want you to download it, the least they can do is make it possible for you to buy it without having to order it in the 'States or some other faraway place.
