Descrizione dell’editore

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.

In these stories, Asimov creates the Three Laws of Robotics and ushers in the Robot Age – when Earth is ruled by master-machines and when robots are more human than mankind.

The Complete Robot is the ultimate collection of timeless, amazing and amusing robot stories from the greatest science fiction writer of all time, offering golden insights into robot thought processes. Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics were programmed into real computers thirty years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – with suprising results. Readers of today still have many surprises in store…
