This was Asimov's very first robot story, and it's simultaneously sweet, entertaining and thought-provoking. A little girl has been provided by her wealthy father with a newfangled robot companion, specially programmed for childcare - and the two are inseparable. However, her mother has an innate distrust of technology, and her doubts are fed by a growing prejudice against robots in society. She convinces her husband to take Robbie the robot away, and to replace him with a dog. However, the girl is inconsolable at the loss... Asimov makes a good (if emotional) case against the resistance to technological change here, and it's fascinating to see the emergence of themes which he further developed later in his career. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
