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 Asmiov’s trademark. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Calvin is perhaps the most central human of all of the stories, but it is notable that Asimov ties her more closely to the robots than to other humanshighly. 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. The framing device of I, Robot, in which a reporter is interviewing Susan Calvin, was created in order to tie together the book’s stories through the viewpoint of Susan Calvin.
With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harmĢ) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.ģ) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
