This book gives the reader some wonderful stories (Steven Grant, John G. Betancourt, Karen Haber) and fantastic graphics by Pablo Marcos, Mark Jackson, & Rags Morales. Beautifully presented. But what I found so interesting is the "Note to the Reader" by one of the founders of the SciFi Channel and the involvement in that venture by Asimov and Gene Roddenberry. This is a 5-star book for sure.

I bought this book on a whim, and man was I glad I did, it is superb! The book is split up into four different stories which all focus on I-Bots, the first examples of artificial intelligence. The first story begins by chronicling the life of an American spy in WW2 Germany then rockets to the near future, and leap frogs again to many points in bettwen. The book is fully illustrated with wonderfull artwork, that trully matches Asimov's genius. If you are at all interensted in robotics, or are just looking for a good book to read, buy The History of I-Botics, you won't be dissapointed. Peace.
