I, Robot
(Isaac Asimov)
This is not merely one story, but a collection of stories taken from eras of time from 1998 to 2059. The book is set with the premise of a reporter interviewing one of the head 'robopsychologists' at US Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc. She tells of many of her and fellow scientists' encounters with a runaway 'lost' robot, a mind-reading robot, a practical jokester robot, and a Robot named Cutie, who refuses to believe that human beings created him and goes on to form a robot 'cult', recruiting other robots who then proceed to bowdown and worship the self-proclaimed 'prophet'.
In the future, the robot has been created. However, these robots must live by three laws.
1. A Robot may not harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey a human beings orders, if the order does not conflict with the first law.
3. A robot must protect its own exhistence unless it conflicts with the first two laws.
All robots must follow these laws. Or do they? In this particular compilation, you will read about a robot that does its best to return to its owner, robots that dance on mars, a robot that can read minds, a politician that is accused of being a robot himself, and many more fantastic tales.
Athough written over 50 years ago, Isaac Asimov gives insight into the future world of science and culture that we can only imagine.
