THE CLASSIC COLLECTION OF ROBOT STORIES FROM THE MASTER OF THE GENRE.

Earth is ruled by master-machines but the Three Laws of Robotics have been designed to endure humans maintain the upper hand:

1) A robot may not injure a human being or 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 Law.

But what happens when a rogue robot's idea of what is good for society contravenes the Three Laws?

Interessant über die Anfänge der Roboter zu lesen, aber nur mäßig spannend

4 stars

Das Buch beschäftigt sich in mehreren voneinander Unabhängigen Erzählungen mit der Entwicklung von Robotern und insbesondere mit den Widersprüchlichkeiten, die aus den drei Gesetzen der Robotik entstehen.

Als Ergänzung zu den Foundation Romanen interessant, bleibt es aber qualitativ hinter ihnen zurück.
