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 givein 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 changed our
perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing
their behavior. 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 and science fiction that has become Asmiov's trademark.
