The best sci-fi books that describe how robots really work

May 11, 2022

Five scifi (and literary fiction) books that describe how robots (and people interacting with robots) really work while telling a great story. The list, which has mini-reviews, was prepared as part of the shephard.com website, where authors are invited to recommend 5 books around a theme. The Shepherd site is fascinating, I highly recommend it, and I've already found several books to read that I would not have stumbled across any other way-- plus it is fascinating to read why an author recommends each book. I was approached because of Robotics Through Science Fiction. and it was a no-brainer to pull together my favorites, though it was a bit hard to limit it to just five.


I hope you'll head over to the site to see my mini-reviews but as a teaser, there's the hard science of Rendezvous With Rama and Kill Decision, the literary fiction of social impacts covered by Little Eyes and The Warehouse, plus the laugh-out-loud "yeah, that's probably exactly what would happen in real life" of Head On.


Please check it out and enjoy!

Referral programs can be interesting, but I prefer reading the actual details instead of relying only on short promotional lines. While comparing a few gaming platforms recently, I spent some time looking at the Dm Win referral rewards information and noticed that understanding the eligibility and related conditions is important. Neha mentioned a similar point while discussing gaming apps with me. Having the requirements clearly explained makes it easier to understand what the referral section actually offers before deciding whether to use it.

Saw this game mentioned somewhere and thought I would give it a try. In the beginning I didn’t understand what to do and didn’t enjoy it much. After spending some time, it became easier to follow. Now I play it sometimes when I have free time. It runs fine on my phone without any issues. I don’t use it daily. It’s not very exciting, but still okay for casual use.
