"Приключения Электроника" (The Adventures of Elektronic)
Yuriy Torsuev as Sergey Syroezhkin, Vladimir Torsuev as Elektronic (AI)


During my first reading of this book I was amazed by how the movie version had improved on some of the story points in this series, giving them more colour if not being specific in exploring little details the books were packed with. They're truly fascinating and knowledgeable details that spark imagination and give the information to think about, which I was and am grateful for!

Приключения Электроника
Ressi -the AI dog created by Elektronic

There're a few rare examples when I love a film version more than a book. I have watched - based on the first two books in the series - film first as a seven year old kid and it had instantly become my favourite and a must during the summer months! 
The story itself and Yevgeniy Migunov's illustrations are fantastic, I think I was ten or eleven when I picked the first book up, which up to this day remains my most favourite from this series. Would love to re-visit all the 4 stories again :)

P.S. "Strong AI is made up of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). Artificial general intelligence (AGI), or general AI, is a theoretical form of AI where a machine would have an intelligence equaled to humans; it would have a self-aware consciousness that has the ability to solve problems, learn, and plan for the future. Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)—also known as superintelligence—would surpass the intelligence and ability of the human brain."
Excerpt from an IBM.com article


Elektronic is somewhere in between AGI and ASI, I guess... 🤔 It certainly looked appealing for a kid to have such a friend :) But what is really important is that Elektronic had the ability to create a friendly atmosphere around him and was fun to be with, also not only the intelligence he's had but the heart, too. And what could be more important than that?
