Норби - необыкновенный робот by Janet Asimov, Айзек Азимов
4.0

Kickstarted with the Wrinkle In Time novels I’ve been on a “70s/80s Young Adult Science Fiction” streak. Most of these books were part of my parent’s collection that I read over and over as a 9-14 year old. It was great fun to visit some of Asimov’s robots again, particularly on Jeff and Norby’s mixed up wacky adventures. The attempts at Star Trek-esque equality ideals juxtaposed with some ridiculously inappropriate comments on women’s bodies is so purely 70s that while jarring was almost charming.
