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 this, 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 & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.
Opinions: I´ve been faced with the opportunity to read this book many times but I always ended up not reading it because I expected it to be like the movie filled with action and everything. It kind of surprised me to read this sci-fi book. There was almost no action at all, just suspense and many theory. I found really funny some theories and perceptions of the futures, especially those regarding humans and their destiny. It´s fun to read in a diferent kind of way to other books. I get this kind of feeling while reading it that I also get while reading old comics from Marvel and stuff. What I mean is that this kind of books and the comics have this really fantastical theories but you also get this dark feeling while reading them. Maybe is because of the time they were written.
Final Rating: 6/10
