Thinking, Feeling Entities (I, Robot, chapters 5 & 6)

On this episode, we explore how Asimov's robots develop feelings, desires, and ambitions which can work against the well-being of the humans in their midst. What do the stories of Herbie and Nestor-10 say about our temptation to live in fantasy, or the resentment that we feel when undervalued by others? We analyze chapters 5 & 6 of I, Robot, "Liar!" and "Little Lost Robot," to bring you our thoughts on those questions.
