Nine Tomorrows: Will Computers Control Humans In The Future?
.... take less time than reading books and memorizing
something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic
world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and

Another point that is criticized by Asimov is the fact that people
might take their knowledge for granted allowing computers to take over and

fact that he was disobeying his father's orders.
Huck's feelings about slavery are shown when he helps Jim, Miss
