I, Robot

by Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot is a groundbreaking collection of interconnected science fiction stories that laid the absolute foundation for modern artificial intelligence ethics. Through a framing narrative involving robopsychologist Dr. Susan Calvin, the book explores the evolution of robotics under the governing constraints of the Three Laws of Robotics. From a mute nursemaid robot exhibiting unexpected emotional protection to malfunctioning machines governed by logical paradoxes, each tale brilliantly interrogates the unintended loopholes of programming logic. Deeply philosophical, brilliantly logical, and brilliantly visionary, this classic masterpiece remains the ultimate exploration of humanity's relationship with its own technological creations.
