The narrator of this story – Susan Calvin initiates the story with statement robots are more than mechanical parts. Although he’s certainly a great storyteller, there are patches of poor dialogue and exposition-heavy prose that take a little shine from the book.

This is not such a strange place to start when you see that almost every science fiction story to feature a robot up until the publication of this one was of the ‘Robot turns against creator’ genre.
