Book excerpt: Una investigación llevada a cabo por un periodista acerca de la trayectoria de la robopsicóloga Susan Calvin da pie a los nueve relatos que componen esta novela. Publicada cuando la electrónica digital estaba en su infancia, Yo, robot resultó ciertamente visionaria. Aquí formuló Isaac Asimv por primera vez las tres leyes fundamentales de la robótica, que rigen el comportamiento en los diferentes conflictos que se presentan entre humanos y robots, que se convertirían en una de las piedras angulares de la ciencia ficción. La modernidad y éxito de este libro se explica por la audacia en la composición y por la aplastante lógica en sus reflexiones, que se adentran en el campo de la ética y de la psicología. Yo, robotes uno de los pocos títulos de ciencia ficción que han superado con amplitud el círculo de lectores especialmente aficionados, entre los que a menudo se considera una obra cumbre. Su influencia y la de las tres leyes de la robótica en ella enunciadas es muy notable y ha servido de inspiración para incontables novelas, cómics y películas.

Book excerpt: This classic science fiction masterwork by Isaac Asimov weaves stories about robots, humanity, and the deep questions of existence into a novel of shocking intelligence and heart. “A must-read for science-fiction buffs and literature enjoyers alike.”—The Guardian I, Robot, the first and most widely read book in Asimov’s Robot series, forever changed the world’s perception of artificial intelligence. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-reading robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world—all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asimov’s trademark. The Three Laws of Robotics: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov formulated the laws governing robots’ behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future—a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete. “Tremendously exciting and entertaining . . . Asimov dramatizes an interesting question: How can we live with machines that, generation by generation, grow more intelligent than their creators and not eventually clash with our own invention?”—The Chicago Tribune

Detective Elijah Baiey is called to the Spacer world Aurora to solve a bizarre case of roboticide. The prime suspect is a gifted roboticist who had the means, the motive, and the opportunity to commit the crime. There's only one catch: Baley and his positronic partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, must prove the man innocent. For in a case of political intrigue and love between woman and robot gone tragically wrong, there's more at stake than simple justice. This time Baley's career, his life, and Earth's right to pioneer the Galaxy lie in the delicate balance.
