With this, Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: 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.

Here are stories of robots gone mad, mind-reading robots, robots with a sense of humor, robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world, all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asimov's trademark.

The Three Laws Of Robotics

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the classic laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot Asimov chronicles the development of the robot from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the no-so-distant future-a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.


 擅長營造意象的科幻大師 Isaac Asimov艾薩克艾西莫夫，是第一波開始深入寫作機器人的作家。此書緊扣人工智慧與天然智慧對抗的關鍵命題，帶領讀者經歷最動人心魄的科幻冒險！2004年暑期改編自【I, Robot 機械公敵】電影於7/30起，全台機動上映！

此書敘述在未來世界中機器人須恪遵三大安全法則：1. 機器人不能傷害人類，或坐視人類受到傷害而袖手旁觀。2. 除非違背第一法則，機器人必須服從人類的命令。3. 在不違背第一和第二法則前提下，機器人必須保護自己。艾西莫夫先在他的科幻小說裡創造了這套機器人安全守則，不過原先單純的概念被進一步發展成也牽連進研究機器人和人工智慧的科學家...

I, Robot的作者是知名的科幻小說家‐Isaac Asimov，整本書是由當時他在雜誌中刊載的九篇短篇小說集結而成。這九篇故事都是在探討人類與機器人之間的道德問題，也創造出了一段機器人的虛構歷史。

I, Robot曾被多次翻拍為電視劇及電影，電影「全民公敵」中出現的「機器人三定律」，也是由此書而來。
