Any other Asimov Books where Susan Calvin appears?












3















As of right now I'm reading The Foundation Trilogy (pg.82) and completed already the following: I, Robot; Rest of the Robots.



One character that I've liked a lot in both books is Robotpsychologist Susan Calvin not only because of the job title and narrative position but also because I can relate to her characteristics. (And also because its finally a new kind of protagonist)



Not to mention the two engineers who's name I've forgotten (Powell?, ?)



Now I've been wondering is there any other book where Susan Calvin or Powell (2 engineers) makes an appearance?

  • The engineers are Greg Powell and Mike Donovan. Fun fact: the name "Mike Donovan" was used as a homage for one of the main characters of the TV series "V" (which was unrelated to Asimov and was about invading reptiloid aliens masquerading as humans).

    You're going to have to read the R. Daneel Olivaw books now - "Robots and Empire" ties the Robots and Foundation stories together.

Any other Asimov Books where Susan Calvin appears?




Yes.



List of stories featuring Susan Calvin



She's also co-opted by a bunch of other authors as well (Arthur C Clark for one).



The Wikipedia link provided above lists 12 stories by Asimov in which she can be found either as a protagonist, bit part or referenced as background detail.




  • "Escape!"

  • "Evidence"

  • "The Evitable Conflict"

  • "Feminine Intuition"

  • "Galley Slave"

  • "Lenny"

  • "Liar!"

  • "Little Lost Robot"

  • "Risk"

  • "Robbie" (cameo as a teenage girl in 1998)

  • "Robot Dreams"

  • "Satisfaction Guaranteed"

  • +1 Susan Calvin is unfortunately also coopted for the terrible movie I, Robot, where she's played by a traditionally pretty actress (even though she is described as plain-looking in the books, which is a big deal, in particular for the short story "Liar!") and pretty much doesn't behave like Susan Calvin at all. My memory of this movie will self-destruct in 3...2...1... Sorry, what was the question?

  • great answer / list, will definitely check those gold pieces of literature out. Once you read any of Asimov's novels you can't stop anymore. So I should avoid Liar completely @Andres?

    @StellarEquilibrium No, no, "Liar" is one of the official Susan Calvin stories! What you should avoid is the movie I, Robot, especially if you find yourself liking Asimov. The movie pretty much butchers everything that makes his robot stories unique, and descends pretty fast into generic action scifi tropes. You'll hate Susan Calvin in the movie precisely because you like her in the stories :)

Dr. Susan Calvin appears in Satisfaction Guaranteed:




Dr. Susan Calvin was there, too, sitting stiffly in thin-lipped abstraction.




She is clearly the same robotpsychologist (my emphasis):




"Mrs. Belmont, I hope you appreciate the importance of this experiment. Your husband tells me he has given you some of the background. I would like to give you more, as the senior psychologist of the U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation.
