The book is listed as /I, Robot/ but it is actually /Overclocked/.
RE: the previous comment, this is a book of novellas, "I, Robot" is one of them. Take a look at the Amazon.com listing for a full table of contents: http://www.amazon.com/Overclocked-Stories-Present-Cory-Doctorow/dp/1560259817
Just read this novella. It was well-written and an enjoyable read, with numerous surprises. I am a big fan of Asimov's "robot" books, and this is not an attempt to copy his style, but rather a melding of the social issues that could come from technology, set in one possible future filled with robots obeying Asimov's Laws of Robotics, coupled with a healthy dose of George Orwell's "1984". Well worth the read!
Doctorow surprised me as a writer with a style of his own. I have enjoyed all of the stories in this book. Give him a chance and read anything of his you can find. I don't think you will be disappointed no matter what type of writing you prefer. He is a "keeper".
I like Doctorow a lot. I like his making his work available for free download even more. I don't know if he thinks of himself as a Libertarian but he's a man after my own heart.
