Isaac Asimov’s ROBOT series — from the iconic collection I, ROBOT to four classic novels — contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day.
What happens when a robot begins to question its creators? What would be the consequences of creating a robot with a sense of humour? Or the ability to lie? How do we truly tell the difference between man and machine?
In I, Robot, Asimov sets out the Three Laws of Robotics — designed to protect humans from their robotic creations — and pushes them to their limits and beyond.
Following genius robopsychologist Dr. Susan Calvin and engineers Powell and Donovan, these short stories helped to transform artificial intelligence from a dream into a science and changed perceptions of robots for ever.

    I really liked the book, it has risen quite interesting for modern society topics, such as building a robot that could walk or how clever the machine can be. Since I got interested in this theme, I swallowed "I, Robot" quickly (for me). Plus, the style of writing appealed to me, I enjoyed seeing English language powerful and beautiful.

    He just can’t help being faithful and loving and kind. He’s a machine-made so. That’s more than you can say for humans.

    Powell sighed wearily. "That's where everything falls down. Postulates are based on assumption and adhered to by faith. Nothing in the Universe can shake them. I'm going to bed."

    "You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason – if you pick the proper postulates. We have ours and Cutie has his."
