{4.5\/5} “If only the Frankenstein Complex did not exist… Her mind was filled with an array of concepts. The tasks robots could perform seemed infinite, and she wanted to become a part of that astounding, robot-filled future. More so than just another psychiatrist mucking around in the human brain.”<\/p>\n

I, Robot: To Preserve<\/strong> by Mickey Zucker Reichert, published in 2016<\/p>\n

When Dr. Ari Goldman is killed, the police arrest N8-C, otherwise known as Nate. Susan Calvin knows that Nate didn’t do it, because he’s a robot. And because Nate is her friend, she goes to the police station to help him — even though she has to quit her job to do so. When she later meets Lawrence Robertson, president of United States Robots, he offers her a job.<\/p>\n

This is the sequel to I, Robot: To Obey<\/strong><\/a>. It concludes the trilogy, which answers the question: How did Susan Calvin become the person featured in Asimov’s stories?<\/p>\n

Old friends Kendell Stevens and Jake Carson return.<\/p>\n

It’s about figuring out who’s your friend and who’s your enemy, and a robot who is doing its job but can also be a friend.<\/p>\n

This is the last Robot<\/strong> novel, for now.<\/p>\n

I’ve read 3 books by Reichert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
