re: I Robot

I picked up a paperback of Asimov's book at Costco for $4. It had Will Smith's picture on the front with the words "One man saw it coming". I read the book, and wonder why they put the cover on. I bet 99% of the people who buy that book, expecting anything like the movie will be sorely disappointed. I'm the 1% that still loved the book, but that damn cover was so disconcerting. They should never have used that cover, since the book has no Will Smith charachter, no "One man saw it coming", no huge revolt by all the robots. Actually the book seems quite the opposite. The book is about apparant robot failures, but with investigation, they are actually working as programmed. Hardly the mass revolt and war between humans and robots that the previews seem to portray.
