Asimov Estate Authorizes New I, Robot Books
daria42 writes "In a move guaranteed to annoy long-term science fiction fans, the estate of legendary science fiction author Isaac Asimov, who passed away in 1992, has authorized a trilogy of sequels to his beloved I, Robot short story series, to be written by relatively unknown fantasy author Mickey Zucker Reichert. The move is already garnering opposition online. 'Isaac Asimov died forty years after they were first written. If he had wanted to follow them up, he would have. The author's intentions need to be respected here,' writes sci-fi/fantasy book site Keeping the Door."

It overrides the other 3 laws ;-)

No, that would be the same if Asimov rose from the dead and decided to write three more books.

Hmmm. I know you're right, but they DID manage to capture almost 3% of Starship Troopers. That was an amazingly good job on Hollywood's part, wasn't it? Just imagine - if they use the same directors and screenwriters, they might get as much as 5% of the Robot series. Wow. What an idea.
Nahhh - sitting through 95 minutes of mindless drivel that is totally unrelated to the story just to see those 5 good minutes is unendurable.

Don't you mean "R. Danielle Steele?"

Everything works...in theory.
As far as I'm concerned, DS9 is canon, Voyager should be shot out of a cannon, and Enterprise should be shot WITH a cannon.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
