The Book of Bots - Paperback
Description
by James Patrick Kelly (Author)
Hugo and Nebula award winning writer James Patrick Kelly has spent the last thirty years thinking about robots. In the twelve stories of The Book of Bots they take many forms. Some look like humans or are embodied in spaceships. One is a house and another is a car. Several exist only in cyberspace. Two are visitors from the future. They are caretakers and lovers, explorers and financial advisors. All have been created to serve, but also have personal agendas that arise from a fierce sense of identity.
Fans of Kelly's long running column in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine will also want to read two new articles included here. "The Comedy of Science" is a wry tour of the history of robots in science fiction and "Robots on Parade 2026" is frank assessment of the current state of robotics and AI.
