I, Robot
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. In this collection of short stories, a classic of science fiction, Asimov set out the principles of robot behavior that we know as the Three Laws of Robotics.
In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.
Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.
