About this product

Product Information

This classic science fiction masterwork by Isaac Asimov weaves stories about robots, humanity, and the deep questions of existence into a novel of shocking intelligence and heart. "A must-read for science-fiction buffs and literature enjoyers alike."-- The Guardian I, Robot , the first and most widely read book in Asimov's Robot series, forever changed the world's perception of artificial intelligence. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-reading 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 and science fiction that has become Asimov's trademark. The Three Laws of Robotics: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov formulated the laws governing robots' behavior. In I, Robot , Asimov chronicles the development of the robot 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. "Tremendously exciting and entertaining . . . Asimov dramatizes an interesting question: How can we live with machines that, generation by generation, grow more intelligent than their creators and not eventually clash with our own invention?"-- The Chicago Tribune

  • Fun and thought provoking

    This is not the movie, despite the Will Smith cover shot. It's a series of short stories concerning the early development of thinking robots. The stories are both funny and thought provoking. If you have read Asimov's other series, this provides some early development background. It's also scary to compare with today's AI advancements. Are we getting too close?

  • Famous and interesting science fiction book

    I like science fiction stories. These series is a good set of stories about robots being the part of human society.

  • This is NOT the same as the Will Smith film!

    The film is merely a chapter in Isaac Asimov's fantastic science-fiction journey into the future with Artificial Intellegence. Easy book to read, pick it up and put it down anytime, and very enjoyable!

  • perfection!!

    the book was practically brand new, it was in perfect condition and was shipped promptly. i couldn't be happier!!
