Penny Arcade just started a really neat Automaton story. As before, it’s largely about Carl, an automaton living in 1927 America, with the Issue of racial segregation. It’s got a lot of shout-outs to Caves of Steel, which is a good move, but says a lot more about the ugliness of humanity than Asimov could ever manage to say.

Like a lot of alternate history, Automata makes you realize how little you need to change the past to get a horrific dystopia.
Why did they stop so soon?? WANT MOAR!! *pout*
