HTML:<b>This classic science fiction masterwork by Isaac Asimov weaves stories about robots, humanity, and the deep questions of existence into a novel of shocking intelligence and heart.</b><br />  <br /> <b>“A must-read for science-fiction buffs and literature enjoyers alike.”—<i>The Guardian</i></b><br /> <i>I, Robot</i>, the first and most widely read book in Asimov’s Robot series, forever changed the world’s perception of artificial intelligence. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-reading 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 Asimov’s trademark. <br /> The Three Laws of Robotics:<br /> 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.<br /> 2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.<br /> 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.<br /> With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov formulated the laws governing robots’ behavior. In <i>I, Robot</i>, 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 be rendered obsolete.<br /> <b>“Tremendously exciting and entertaining . . . Asimov dramatizes an interesting question: How can we live with machines that, generation by generation, grow more intelligent than their creators and not eventually clash with our own invention?”—<i>The Chicago Tribune</i></b>.
