I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, 218 pages
Yet another classic sci-fi novel that I'd been meaning to read for, well, forever. The premise of the book is that it's a history of robotics through the eyes of Susan Calvin, a "robopsychologist" who, through her long career, has seen robots change from nonspeaking automatons to reasoning, thinking beings that are indistinguishable from humans. It's a book that's chilling, both in the powers of the robots and in how the humans interact with them. Fantastic story, and I'm glad I finally read it.
