I liked the cute quirkiness of this street art transforming exhaust fans and air conditioning intakes into a robot. Fun!

I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.

Category 7. Colonial Futurism
A blend of old-fashioned "retro styles" with futuristic technology. Explores the themes of tension between past and future, and between the alienating and empowering effects of technology - think mecha harvesting wheat, floating parishes, that kinda stuff.
He should be careful pretending to be an astronaut; a drop of 1mm and a twist clockwise and he would have been a smoothie.
When my son was very little he asked me why there were robots lining the Edinburgh City Bypass. I told them that they were sentries whose job was to protect the wild animals from crossing the bypass and getting injured or killed. I took this photo from just beside the busy dual carriageway. The beautiful Pentland Hills are in the background.
I took this photo at the Forum in the city of Groningen, the Netherlands, looking up at the escalators....

You see what you see in rock formations. I see pieces of other robots laying around this surviving robot.
This is the Alien World area and requires a hike in the desert.
As soon as Burning Man 2018 ended, "Robot Resurrection" (right) paid a visit to "Big Charles... (An homage to Charlie Smith)" (left).
Both robots are creations by Shane Evans.

In I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, we are taken on a journey through the development of robots and their interactions with humans.
Even though robots are products of human development, humans frequently have difficulty believing that they are fully in control of the robots, and Asimov's stories spark questions about whether humans are wise or logical enough to anticipate the consequences of their own technology.
Asimov's famed Three Laws of Robotics:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First and Second Laws.
