Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Also an intimate look at a MD first year residency
What did you love best about I, Robot?
I was expecting a typical Asimov robot story but instead experienced what it was like for Dr Calvin's first year residency. The book is a teaching experience in psychology.
What does Alma Cuervo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Alma Cuervo put you into the life of Susan Calvin even better than what one would do in reading words on pages.

Not much scifi content
Much more "romance" and "medical drama" genre than "SciFi". Set a few decades from present day but otherwise very little scifi content. The description was misleading. It had almost nothing in common with Azimof's "I, Robot". It took 8hrs of audio before the protagonist made it to the USR office! I won't be buying the the rest of this trilogy.

An old friend
What did you love best about I, Robot?
The author brings back to life an old friend, the legendary Dr. Susan Calvin. This book definitely feels like it could have been written by Isaac Asimov. In fact, I think this author is better at writing for female characters than Asimov was. Susan Calvin's character is full of warmth and a depth that it hasn't seen before. It is a must-read for Asimov fans.
What did you like best about this story?
Getting to know Dr. Susan Calvin better.
What does Alma Cuervo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She sounds like Dr Calvin always sounded in my head.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but I had to force myself to take breaks.
Any additional comments?
I really miss Isaac Asimov. Its great that someone can add more to the Asimov experience and, in some ways, exceed it.
