Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).Īsimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. In l, Robot Isaac Asimov changes forever our perception of robots, and human beings and updates the timeless myth of man's dream to play god. And both are asking the same questions: What is human? And is humanity obsolete? Human men and women confront robots gone mad, telepathic robots, robot politicians, and vast robotic intelligences that may already secretly control the world.
And soon the robots themselves aware of their own intelligence, power, and humanity, aren't either.Īs humans and robots struggle to survive together-and sometimes against each other-on earth and in space, the future of both hangs in the balance. For the scientists who invented the earliest robots weren't content that their creations should ' remain programmed helpers, companions, and semisentient worker-machines. It was a bold new era of evolution that would open up enormous possibilities-and unforeseen risks. With these Three Laws of Robotics, humanity embarked on perhaps its greatest adventure: the invention of the first positronic man. They mustn't harm a human being, they must obey human orders, and they must protect their own existence.but only so long as that doesn't violate rules one and two.
Filled with unforgettable characters, mind-bending speculation, and nonstop action, I, Robot is a powerful reading experience from one of the master storytellers of our time. Isaac Asimov's I, Robot launches readers on an adventure into a not-so-distant future where man and machine, struggle to redefinelife, love, and consciousness-and where the stakes are nothing less than survival.
