What traits would prove that Jerry is, indeed, a man?

It seems the perfect solution to a ballooning crime rate – filling the skies with flying robotic droids that can prevent murder before it takes place. However, nobody told these “Watchbirds” that all life depends on a formula of carefully balanced killing. Robert Sheckley’s renowned story examines one of the most important questions of our time – is it wise to sacrifice our liberty in the name of our security?
Perskaičius pavadinimus ir siužeto apibūdinimus, prisiminiau keletą apsakymų, pagal kuriuos sukurtos kaikurios iš šių istorijų. Na kūryniai pasirinkti tikrai Neblogi, o ypač kilo noras pažiurėti "Watchbird" ekranizaciją (kiek pamenu apsakymas buvo publikuotas vienoje "Eridano" knygų). Taip pat sudomino "Little Brother" siužetas.
"If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes, in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!"

Na paziurejau jau tris serijas ir visos labai idomios. Sakyciau geriau nei X-Failai.
P.S.
Trecioji serija tai ten labiau komedija su fantastikos elementais, nors ideja patiko. Kokio ten apsakymo ekranizacija ? Heinleina pamenu, skaiciau keleta jo knygu. Tad apsakyma tureciau prisimint teoriskai, nes pavadinimas atrodo girdetas. Anyway, lauksim kit seriju
