A classic, with lots of fun robot stories and how they reveal the use and applications of the Three Laws of Robots. This book has a more positive look towards the future both for humanity and its robots. One can hope that we learn from stories like this.

Isaac Asimov: I, Robot (Paperback, 1984, Del Rey) 4 stars
I read it in dribs and drabs over the past few months. Although obviously anachronistic about robotic hardware, computer technology, and gender relations since it was written so long ago it was still a great exploration of how "the three laws" of robotics plays out in life scenarios. I loved the vignette style format and its attempt to deep dive into the technical problems being explored. I can see why all that is way too dry for others though.

The famous the three laws of robotics are introduced in this collection, and also explored in great depth. Relevant read in the age of machine learning and "AI".

Colección de relatos cortos en los que Asimov plantea las tres leyes de la robótica. Escritos en los 50, se nota de forma perceptible el paso del tiempo por ellos. Sin embargo, su importancia para el resto del universo, la concepción social que supuso de los Robots, las leyes y que los relatos están basados en la psicología y aspectos sociales de los robots, lo hacen un imprescindible (y origen) del universo de Asimov.
