«I, Robot - Short Stories» is the science fiction short story collection by Isaac Asimov adapted by Rowena Akinyemi, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (112 pages, in English).
A human being is fragile: needs air, water, food and sleep, and does not perform well in extreme temperatures. A robot, on the other hand, is made of metal, does not rest and works in any condition. These stories, adapted for learners of English, explore that difference and offer a disturbing vision of the future through Asimov's robots.
It belongs to the Oxford Bookworms Library series, level 5, with 1800 headwords and 22,500 words in length. The text is adapted by Rowena Akinyemi.
Recommended for learners of English at B2 level (CEFR) who want to read classic science fiction with graded vocabulary.
