Talk:Isaac Asimov

Srsly, with Asimov it's always robot sex, in every freakin book. He weren't right in the head. --Nerd42 (talk) 14:14, 6 Novelniver 2016 (UTC)

I've read I, Robot, and there is no mention of such. Operator XY - (Conversal :: Editations - 7,284 and counting!) 22:59, 7 Novelniver 2016 (UTC)

In many ways, "I, Robot" is not what I meant by a book: it's a collection of short stories that had to meet with the editor's approval in science fiction magazines, knitted together with a flimsy framing narrative. Because Asimov had to get those stories past an editor in magazines that were in that era very concerned about their public image, he couldn't put in the robot sex. But the robot sex is totally there in his actual full length novels. --Nerd42 (talk) 03:36, 1 Ditzimber 2016 (UTC)

Well seriously (yeah, for once) the robot novels, Caves of Steel, Naked Sun, and Robots of Dawn, are pretty much PG-13 all the way, just like nearly all of Asimov's writing. Which, I might add, covered a whole lot more ground than just his robot short stories. You may not like him or respect him but the problem wasn't at his end of the connection.

I hope you know that stuff I write in Illogicopedia articles aren't my real opinions about the subjects. --Nerd42 (talk) 15:01, 1 Ditzimber 2016 (UTC)

Rent-a-Spike

When I read a page like this one it makes me wish we could borrow Spike (you know who I mean, I'm sure) for just a few days and let him run around and whack a few people. Then send him back from whence he came, of course (a little bit of Spike goes a long way). Snarglefoop (talk) 05:14, 1 Ditzimber 2016 (UTC)
