My point is books about robots are a fascinating well of ideas. Not only are robots a fairly fundamental part of science fiction, they can also be used to explore so much about humanity and the human condition. And on top of that, they’re just plain fun. R2D2 and C-3PO taught me that. These eight books feature robots as sarcastic as any protocol droid and as powerful as you can imagine. Some are peaceful and some were made for war. But all of these robots have stories you won’t want to put down and worlds you’ll want to return to again and again. Still looking for even more science fiction books about robots?
