Official synopsis Publisher
They mustn’t harm a human being, they must obey human orders, and they must protect their own existence.. .but only if doing so doesn’t violate rules one and two. With these Three Laws of Robotics, humanity embarks on perhaps its greatest adventure: the invention of the first positronic man.
Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot launches readers on an adventure into a not-so-distant future where man and machine struggle to redefine life, love, and consciousness itself. For the scientists who invented the earliest robots weren’t content that their creations should remain programmed helpers, companions, and semisentient worker- machines. And soon the robots themselves, aware of their own intelligence, power, and humanity, aren’t satisfied either. Now human men and women find themselves confronting telepathic robots, robot politicians, robots gone mad, and vast robotic intelligences that may already secretly control the world in the next great evolutionary struggle for survival. And both man and robot are asking the same questions: What is human? And is humanity obsolete?
