I'm interested in reading more Science Fiction novels and short stories primarily about Utopian societies and/or robots. The more obscure and awesome the better. Your recommendations, I can has?

This, a thousand times this.

Also, not quite Sci-fi, but Dresden Files is also a really good book.

Anything by Asimov. I recommed the Foundation trilogy if you want a long, involved story. Otherwise, his short stories are great, too.

Asmov was... okay, I couldn't get into Foundation

I would reccomend the Firefly series or the movie that comes after those events, Serenity. You can find Firefly episodes on Hulu, though, the show got cancelled and there are only 13 episodes. Not to say it was bad or anything, it's just very... different from what FOX network's usual crap is. It's kind of like a western. In space.

Bio of a Space Tyrant, awesome series by Piers Anthony. I also agree with the others, read the Ender's series.
