THE THREE LAWS or 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 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.
Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the classic laws governing their 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 rendered obsolete.
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 the dramatic blend of …

Das Buch beschäftigt sich in mehreren voneinander Unabhängigen Erzählungen mit der Entwicklung von Robotern und insbesondere mit den Widersprüchlichkeiten, die aus den drei Gesetzen der Robotik entstehen.
Als Ergänzung zu den Foundation Romanen interessant, bleibt es aber qualitativ hinter ihnen zurück.
Colección de relatos cortos en los que Asimov plantea las tres leyes de la robótica. Escritos en los 50, se nota de forma perceptible el paso del tiempo por ellos. Sin embargo, su importancia para el resto del universo, la concepción social que supuso de los Robots, las leyes y que los relatos están basados en la psicología y aspectos sociales de los robots, lo hacen un imprescindible (y origen) del universo de Asimov.
