The three laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would 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.
With these three, simple directives, Isaac 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, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of 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.
《我，机器人》（I, Robot），是美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫出版于1950年的科幻小说短篇集，收录9篇短篇小说。大多原载于1940年到1950年间的美国《超级科幻小说》杂志和《惊奇科幻小说》杂志。书中的短篇故事各自独立，却拥有共同的主题，探讨人类与机器人间的道德问题。这些故事结合之后，开创出阿西莫夫的机器人浩翰虚构历史。
