I Robot to obey HC Mickey Zucker Reichert Asimov Sequel! Artificial Intelligence

Description: To Obey (I, Robot) Hardcover by Mickey Zucker Reichert (Author) 2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 2036: Robotic technology has evolved into the realm of self-aware, sentient mechanical entities. But even as humanity contends with the consequences of its most brilliant creation, there are those who have their own designs for the robots: enslavement�or annihilation. Susan Calvin is about to enter her second year as a psych resident at the Manhattan Hasbro teaching hospital when a violent crime strikes her very close to home. When she was young, Susan lost her mother in a terrible car wreck that also badly injured her father. She now believes the accident was an attempted murder by government powers who wanted her parents dead. Susan has always known that there was a faction of the U.S. government that wanted to hijack her father�s work for military use. Now, it seems that faction is back. As she struggles to overcome her pain and confusion as well as deal with her studies, Susan finds herself hunted by violent anti-tech vigilantes who would revert mankind to the dark ages�and at the same time watched very closely by extremists who want high-tech genocide. Somehow she must find a way to stop them both. �A thrilling climax provides plenty of action and excitement, forcing all to examine their values and to take action in an untenable situation.��SF Revu �An excellent homage to a milestone work in science fiction history.��Night Owl Reviews Series: I, Robot (Book 2) Hardcover: 400 pages Publisher: Roc Mickey Zucher Reichart takes on a mammoth task when she attempts to reignite one of the defining literary landmarks of the emerging modern sci fi era in Isaac Asimov's 'I Robot' series. It's a frightening prospect and yet the way she goes about betrays few nerves and a compelling innocence in regard to capturing the spirit of Asimov's genius. This first attempt is faithful in terms of the technical genus of his invention and from this point of view it is satisfying to say the least. Her character development is adequate and the use of female as the main hero is also interesting. I find the large amount of medical detail interesting. This aspect is, however, usually set within a fast paced narrative which enables the writer to maintain interest for the most part. The use of emergent sexuality was somewhat forced but still didn't detract too much from the story. A great start! I enjoyed the first book, and must say I enjoyed the second book even more - there better be another one coming Growing up reading Asimov, I always liked how I learned about Physics, Chemistry, etc as I was taken on an adventure to solve a Mystery or two - and I can remember in the 80's as he got back into Foundation and Robots (and unified his Universe), that each book made me want the next one. They were the first SciFi books that I bought in Hard Cover - paperback would take too long The Author of this series, whilst indeed a different author, does offer a similar approach (at least that is what I find) - but in her case, I learn about Medicine and Psychiatry - and I think the Author handles writing in the "near future" quite well. The world is different but still very familiar. And of course, there are the Mysteries. Book and dust jacket are in near mint condition. 1st printing. Sticker on back cover. 978-0-451-46482-8.
