Title: Sci-Fi needs more books of this sort
Product review: Although familiar with Orson Scott Card, I had never heard of Doug Chiang or "Robota" prior to picking it up off the shelf in the book store. Always one to judge a book by its cover, I am glad I did so in this case. Robota is a stunning portfolio of Chiang's talent.The text is underdeveloped, leaving the reader with many unanswered questions, and will likely not appeal to hard sci-fi fans.Most striking is the SORT of book which Robota is. It's a sci-fi picture book, the likes of which I haven't seen since Edwards and Holdstock published "Tour of the Universe" so many years ago. The genre would do well with more books of this type.
