For Jupiter's sake, this book is amazing!
I took a step into the world of science fiction with the Discover different genres activity and I want to get lost here :)
First of all, robots are produced in accordance with the three robot laws stated at the beginning of the book:
1. Robots cannot harm people or allow them to be harmed by inaction.
2. Robots must obey orders given by humans unless they conflict with the First Law.
3. Robots must protect their own existence unless it conflicts with the First or Second Law.
As Asimov said, these laws are not perfect. Both the loopholes in the law and the ambiguity in the dialogues create some problems for robots. In each story, we read first the consequences and then the cause of these troubles. These stories consist of conversations between Susan Calvin, who works as a robopsychologist at Abd Robot ve Mekanik A.Ş., and the reporter who interviewed her. In a sense, they are the memories of our robopsychologist.
I Robot is a story book, but the stories are not independent of each other, they proceed chronologically. The setting changes in each story; In one, you are in a mining station on Mercury, in another, you are in space, in another, you are traveling interstellar or on an asteroid. Robots vary from Robbie, who works as a nanny, to Herbie, who reads minds, and even to Cutie, who denies being man-made and declares herself a prophet. We see how the robot, which does not even have the ability to speak, has become the greatest protector of humanity over time.
I read, "Asimov, what kind of a man are you, what kind of intelligence is this?" It was very enjoyable.
