| Title : | I, robot : short stories / | | Other title : | Upper-Intermediate | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Rowena Akinyemi | | Edition statement: | Simplified ed. | | Publisher: | Oxford : Oxford University Press | | Publication Date: | 2008 | | Series: | Oxford bookworms | | Pagination: | 104 p. | | Layout: | ill. | | Size: | 20 cm | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-0-19-479228-8 | | Class number: | 428.6 | | Abstract: | A human being is a soft, weak creature. It needs constant supplies of air, water, and food; it has to spend a third of its life asleep, and it can't work if the temperature is too hot or too cold. But a robot is made of strong metal. It uses electrical energy directly, never sleeps, and can work in any temperature. It is stronger, more efficient - and sometimes more human than human beings.
Isaac Asimov was one of the greatest science-fiction writers, and these stories give us an unforgettable and terrifying vision of the future. |
