Some mystery writers suffer from making their detective characters too inhumanly clever, with flawless and logical reasoning.

Asimov never made that mistake. He really just had Elijah Baley go in front of the chief of police, point at his android partner, and say “This man is no robot! He faked his own murder and is now pretending to be a robot! I know this because I peeped on him in the bathroom and his penis was incredibly lifelike. No one would give a robot such a realistic penis!” and then has a panic attack and passes out when he finds out that the genitals he’d been ogling were not, in fact, genuine human flesh and his robot partner is made entirely of metal.

God I love Daneel Olivaw. What a character.

it just gets me that he was just an average ordinary robot except somebody told him he was a detective and that was the first domino in a path that led to him falling in love with a fucked up agoraphobic little man and then with a psychic robot and loving them so intensely he broke his own programming. and then deciding he had to honor them by secretly manipulating human history for 20,000 years and turning humanity into a genetically modified hivemind. Who else has ever done it like him.

The Three Laws of Robotics 

  1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
  2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Yeah, there is an original trilogy that is iconic and people are familiar with it, despite not looking deeper into it. Later there were added prequels and sequels to that trilogy. Many fans don’t like the prequels but I personally enjoyed them and I feel like they add a good backstory to the characters. Sequels are kinda okay but we all collectively agree that the last one didn’t happen.

Am I talking about Star Wars or the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov?

Just in case, I will clarify: this picture is not related to any religion existing on planet Earth and is devoted exclusively to the cult of the Galactic spirit in the books of Isaac Asimov.
