Book Review: We, Robots
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
We, Robots takes place in the future when humans have robots as household help. Dal and Chit purchase AV-1 to be a nanny to their daughter Angelina. After a few years, AV-1 is recalled by the manufacture. Humans fear robots taking over and dominating them so they have decided to give robots pain sensors. This way humans can control the robots through fear of a painful punishment. At the same time, technology has been developed that can remove pain sensors in humans. This novella explores the consequences of both actions on society.
This was a quick read; it’s just under 100 pages. I found myself actually wishing that it was longer. There were some jumps in the story that confused me. If the book was longer, those plot holes could have been filled in. Other than that, it was a fun little piece of science fiction that was also thought-provoking.
