Odyssey by Michael P. Kube-McDowell
4.0
Kube-McDowell, Michael. Odyssey. Isaac Asimov’s Robot City No. 1. Ace, 1987.
In the late 1980s, franchised out part of his robot universe to a group of six young writers. This first novel in the series has an open ending that hands off to the writer doing the second installment. To get the whole story, you need to be familiar with Asimov’s originals and with the whole sequence of novels in the series. Asimov introduces each novel and explains what he thinks it adds to his original ideas. We begin with a man with amnesia waking up in a starship life pod. Eventually, he lands in a city run by Asimovian robots. You can take it from there.
