About this listen
Isaac Asimov’s Robot series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day.
What happens when a robot begins to question its creators? What would be the consequences of creating a robot with a sense of humour? Or the ability to lie? How do we truly tell the difference between man and machine?
In I, Robot, Asimov sets out the Three Laws of Robotics – designed to protect humans from their robotic creations – and pushes them to their limits and beyond.
Following genius robopsychologist Dr. Susan Calvin and engineers Powell and Donovan, these short stories helped to transform artificial intelligence from a dream into a science and changed perceptions of robots for ever.

Excellent!
I waited far too long to listen to this book it really is a masterpiece. Asimov writes with considerable for thought as his plots are intricate and well thought out

As robot-classic as they come
A series of robot short stories pulled together by the thread of an interview with the world's leading robo-psychologist. What's fascinating isn't so much the writing or the characters - but instead the situations - Asimov dreamed up scenarios of massive scale in multiple directions. 5 stars easily for his imagination and for the important questions he raises (they'll become ever more important) ... oh, and for his laws of robotics, too, of course.
