I just noticed he said I robot was dystopian. Asimov was absolutely Utopian and so were the stories in that book. I wouldn’t call the movie a faithful adaptation.
Thank you! I cane to say the same thing. Really undercuts his entire point about “other authors” when he apparently doesn’t know the work. Or at least, only knows the movie.
ESPECIALLY since Asimov and Roddenberry were friends!
The final story where the world computers control the world can certainly be read as dystopian, even if it’s somewhat framed as saving humanity from itself.

The books, yes. The movie, no.
He’s talking about on screen, cause there’s a tremendous amount of utopian scifi on the page, it just doesn’t make it to movies and TV very often.
