Qeiteri Armelle

I, robot follows fictional Japanese police investigator Haruto Suzuki, a man obsessed
with following rules. When he investigates the mysterious death of a business man staying
in one of Tokyo’s hotels, Haruto stumbles into a much bigger murderous plot. Japan is
exchanging artificially intelligent robots for nuclear weapons from Israel.

Dr. Smith is not a bad fiction writer. His main character Haruto is an interesting man
who, in contrast to the ever-learning and growing robots, has trouble escaping from his
regiment of rules. Along with characters, Dr. Smith creates great action sequences that,
for the most part, are an intense plot filler.

Altogether, I, robot is a global story woven right along the lines of our modern theologies
and technologies (that is as long as your political views don’t distract you). And Dr.
Smith uses his extensive knowledge of current military robots, which should have been the
most excited part. But this is where the unfortunate part begins.

Howard S. Smith seems to be a very intelligent man with a wide variety of interests,
including karate, sci-fi, and robotics. If these seem like things that interest you as
well, you may really enjoy I, robot, as a lot of others have. But in my opinion, I’d
wait for the non-fiction version where Dr. Smith really delves, without distraction,
into the future applications of artificial intelligence.
