Mint
In this collection, one of the great classics of science fiction, Asimov set
out the principles of robot behavior that we know as the Three Laws of
Robotics. Here are stories of robots gone mad, mind-reading robots,
robots with a sense of humor, robot politicians, and robots who secretly
run the world, all told with Asimovs trademark dramatic blend of science
fact and science fiction.
Personal Review: I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
I wanted to read this book before I saw the Will Smith movie. According to
reviews I read about the movie it was totally butchered and had the
opposite moral message that the book did. I haven't seen it and I'm happy
that I read the book first.
I've always loved Asimov books. Since we're past the dates that many are
set in it's interesting to see how much the push into space was overrated
as the direction technology would take. In the book there are space
stations and mining colonies on far away asteroids, people have
developed hyperspace engines with the help of robots but they still wait for
the paperboy to get the news.
The book is broken into chapters of the history of robots told by a robot
psychologist. Each chapter is a short story in the world all it's own with the
common theme being how robots interact with their pre-programmed laws.
The first law of robotics is that a robot cannot harm a human being or
through inaction allow a human being to be harmed. The theme of the
book is exploration of how a physically superior being, who also is

intellectually superior, robots are supercomputers after all, would interact
with humans if they had to follow this law.
Robots become ever more sophisticated through the book, it's told over a
60 year period of technology. Eventually everything in the world is run by
robots as they become superior but benevolent creations. At it's root it's a
story of how we interact with technology and how as technology becomes
more advanced it interacts with us.
Looking over the past 60 years and all the marvels and miracles and
looking forward at the next 60 years this book is still relevant and thought
provoking.
