Asimov's "I' Robot" was in many ways a plagerism of Mary shelly's
"Frankenstein's Monster" but where the artifical creation turned on it's
maker in Frankenstein, Asimov inserts the base program of the "prime
directive" Kant's statement "I think therefore I am" explored conscious
awareness within this storyline also. Needles to say I was terribly
disappointed by the recent film release starring Will Smith.

I am disappointed that you think I am not familiar with Asimov. This
theme has been explored in the Terminator, Robocop, Lost in Space, Star
Trek NG, Blade Runner and countless others.
The Jews have a similar legend of the Golem which predates Shelly so I
am not going to accuse Asimov of plagiarism and frankly I really liked
the movie I, Robot a lot. But Millennium Man with Robin Williams came
from Asimov's robot short stories and was a more telling picture of the
growth and development of an artificial life form.

Did'nt see that one yet, Spielburgs "A.I." was depressing, I'm a big
fan of early american sci-fi.
I read "I, Robot" as a short story in an old mag from the 40's" I,
Robot" is a science fiction short story by Eando Binder about a robot
named Adam Link. Which I confused with Asimovs book by the same title.
Thus the disapointment.
Now the jewish concept of the Golem is an interesting one. Ever read the
gnostic scriptures?
It accounts the first draft of man as a golem created by the
"authorities".
