Perhaps they've kind of merged the concepts together and figured "I Robot" was a useful and easily recognizable umbrella title. I'm just hoping it doesn't end up like The Bicentennial Man. --cathy --- "Strong, Lee" <StrongL at MTMC.ARMY.MIL> wrote: > The announcement states that the lead is a > detective investigating a > crime possibly committed by a robot... which sounds > more like _The Caves of > Steel_ or _The Naked Sun_ than _I, Robot_.
