I, Robot

I, Robot is a classic collection of science fiction short stories by Isaac Asimov, first published in 1950. The book is a groundbreaking work that introduces Asimov’s famous “Three Laws of Robotics,” which govern the behavior of robots in his universe. These stories explore the ethical and moral dilemmas that arise as humans and robots interact in a future where robots are integrated into society.

The collection is framed through the perspective of Dr. Susan Calvin, a robopsychologist who works for U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation. She recounts a series of cases involving robots, each highlighting the complexities of the Three Laws and the unforeseen consequences of their application. The stories touch on themes such as artificial intelligence, free will, and the potential for technology to surpass human understanding.
