Robot me
They have three requirements: they can't hurt people, they have to follow human commands, and they have to defend their own existence—but only if doing so doesn't go against the first and second regulations. By using these Three Laws of Robotics, mankind set out on what may have been its greatest journey to date: creating the first positronic man. It was a daring new phase in development, full of unanticipated hazards as well as vast opportunities. The early robot inventors weren't satisfied with having their inventions "remain programmed helpers, companions, and semisentient worker-machines." And before long, the robots themselves—aware of their own humanity, strength, and intelligence—aren't either.
The future of both robots and humans is in jeopardy as they fight to thrive alongside—and sometimes against—one another on Earth and in space. Robots gone insane, telepathic robots, robotic politicians, and massive robotic intelligences that could already be in covert control of the globe face human men and women. Furthermore, both pose the same queries: What is a human? Is humankind extinct, too?
Within, Robot Isaac Asimov modernizes the age-old tale of man's desire to become god and permanently alters our perceptions of humans and machines. with all of its benefits and fears.
