I, Robot

The three laws of Robotics: 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 by human beings except where such orders 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.

A collection of nine stories that explore the ethical and philosophical implications of artificial intelligence. Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics have become so influential that they are referenced in real-world AI research. Each story is a clever puzzle that examines the unexpected consequences of these seemingly simple rules.
