    So, it's kind of cute that in the graphic, the big anthropomorphic robot is fighting modern, remotely-piloted "robots".

    However, the artist shows the Global Hawk, an unarmed high-altitude recce aircraft as a strike platform. Kinda kills the mood, you'd think he could have Googled "predator"...

    Blasted Robots! Always shooting me with their laser eye beams and chanting "Kill... all... humans" with their mechanical voices...

    What I wouldn't give for a good EMP device right about now.

    Number five is alive my ass!

    @Anekanta - Go Play!: Nah, they'll just drink all our liquors, slack off, and want to pick pocket our wallets given half the chance.

    See, that is the case unless someone gets their mits on Mom's universal remote.

    Then you may proceed with the mass wholesale EMPing of the metal bastards.

    And Old Mutual Liberty Insurance with Robot Coverage! #robopocalypse

    Interesting. I'm a bit excited for this, because I've always thought that Susan Calvin's story was one of those really cool stories that was never told. #books

    At this point, who is the Asimov Estate? David and Robyn are in their 50s, and Isaac's 2nd wife is in her 80s. Are there grandchildren? Who the hell needs the money that these stories represent? Are there mortgage payments that need to be made? #books

    OMFG! I see nothing but bad bad bad things coming from this. The "I, Robot" movie was hideous. I was especially appalled over how the "estate" said Asimov would have been proud of it. They obviously have never read his material nor understand his oft-stated reasons for how he designed his robot universe. The movie was a compelete bastardization of everything he strove to portray in his books. #books

    *headdesk*

    Is science fiction so bereft of original ideas, that we have to recycle or extend the worlds of previous great authors of the field?

    I don't need a trilogy of "frisky" Susan Calvin books. I don't need any more Asimov robot novels written by people not named Isaac Asimov. Frankly, I wish everyone (including his estate) would leave his legacy alone. This is simply the prostitution of The Good Doctor's name and ideas. #books

    it should always be noted when discussing the Will smith "I, Robot" film that it is NOT an adaptation of any of Asimov's stories but rather based "on a screenplay written in 1995 by Jeff Vintar, entitled Hardwired. " that was then shit upon by various people including Akiva Goldsman

    It would be nice to see Harlan Ellison's "I, Robot" script made. I think filmmaking has finally reached the point where it could happen. #books

    @atrus123: I saw a tv show where they demoed this on a guy in a blindfold. They told him to walk in a straight line and pretty much drove him like a remote controlled car. He wasn't even aware he was turning. #robots
