Wikipedia states that Asimov was a liberal, but no liberal would ever criticize 1984. Some of this review misses the mark but a lot of it is pretty awesome, particularly the end, where he channels Red Rosa and says that ultimately we’re either going to have communism or extinction. Isn’t Asimov’s concept of psychohistory just another name for Marxism as well? But his Robot novels are basically about finding better ways to enslave workers. With the Three Laws, it’s almost impossible for robots (the original Czech means “workers”) to break free.
