I, Robot
A sequence of linked stories follows the development of increasingly sophisticated robots governed by three laws intended to protect humanity. Robot psychologist Susan Calvin repeatedly confronts behavior that appears irrational until logic reveals conflicts within those rules. The cases move from household machines to questions affecting global power and human dependence. Clever and foundational, this collection suits readers who enjoy puzzles, artificial intelligence, ethical design, and mysteries solved through careful attention to what a rule actually says.
