    • Holy Asimov, you're right! Checking my bookshelf again, it appears that I *never actually read I, Robot*. It was Caves of Steel and a couple others I was thinking of.
    • I wrote a song called Caves of Steel [mac.com] some years ago, and am working (from the original MIDI file I used way back then) on re-doing it, for kicks. I am about halfway done with redoing the music, then I just need to add the vocals and vocoder.
