The title comes from the article, but I agree with some of these changes. It's making for an engaging show that also feels modern.

Yes, correct. I think what made reading the books difficult for me, though - and that was many years ago, not sure if I remember correctly - was that strong "atomic" reference in everything tech related, overused. Yes, at the time of writing this was cutting edge, but for me when reading was extremely difficult to translate/take seriously. It killed the immersion.

Can't describe it better, but did not have that effect at all wit Asimov's contemporaries.
