For one thing, it is a series of nine short stories, each one dealing with new social consequences of robots.Īnd here we come to the famous “ Three Laws of Robotics” in the book, which state that robots may not injure humans and so on. The book is nothing like the 2004 film, at all. And for Asimov himself, it was the diminutive start of an illustrious writing career that would last for decades. Most notably, I, Robot opened everyone’s eyes to how interesting robots could be. Isaac Asimov may not have invented the word ‘robot’ (that honour goes to the Capek brothers) but his book series pushed the robot into our collective consciousness as no other piece of popular entertainment has done. ![]()
