Robot Dreams :]

1. One similarity to robot dreams and 1984 is that elvex and Wintson are the same in a way. They both were "controlled" by one person, in robot dreams, elvex was "controlled" by susan Calvin and in 1984 winston was controlled by big brother. Even though one was a robot and one was a real person, in the end the robot pictured himself in a dream killing the humans, and being the "ruler" of the world, just like big brother. So in the end they had to kill elvex because he got too powerful and he knew too much. One difference between the two stories was that in robot dreams, the main character was a robot and in 1984 the main character was a real person. Also that the person controlling in robot dreams, was a scienctist that knew or thought they knew what they were doing when they were "training" the robot but in 1984 big brother just wanted to rule the world, not knowing really what he was doing.


2. George Orwell might say to Issac Asimov at dinner that he agrees with some of his ideas but not with some of them. I think they would agree on things that relate to ruling the world / country. Also having the main character "brainwashed" to believe and say anything that the ruler tells them too. They might disagree about having " too much power" , George Orwell will think its fine to have all the power in the world, but Issac Asimov would not agree with that because in robot dreams, elvex got too much power and found out too much information for which he could rule the world and take the power away from the ruler. He was taught too much information and in a short period of time.
