I, robot
Isaac Asimov (Author)
"I, Robot, 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, mind-reading robots, robots with a sense of humor. Stories of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world -- all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that became Asimov's trademark. The Three Laws of 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 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 laws. With these three simple directives, Isaac Asimov formulated the laws governing robots' 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 be rendered obsolete."--Page 4 of cover
