Summary
THE CLASSIC COLLECTION OF ROBOT STORIES FROM THE MASTER OF THE GENRE。
Earth is ruled by master-machines but the Three Laws of Robotics have been designed to ensure humans maintain the upper hand:
1） A robot may not injure a human being or 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。
But what happens when a rogue robot’s idea of what is good for society contravenes the Three Laws？

Because I'm four novels into Asimov's FOUNDATION series， I figured it's time to begin a book in his Robot Series， so I began with this collection of what are essentially short stories that tell the history of robotics in the not-so-far future。 Some of the stories are excellent， a few mind-blowing， while others merely fun， but all of them are though-provoking and very relevant to the current trajectory of the species as far as our work in robotics are concerned。 Because I'm four novels into Asimov's FOUNDATION series， I figured it's time to begin a book in his Robot Series， so I began with this collection of what are essentially short stories that tell the history of robotics in the not-so-far future。 Some of the stories are excellent， a few mind-blowing， while others merely fun， but all of them are though-provoking and very relevant to the current trajectory of the species as far as our work in robotics are concerned。 。。。more

It seems to never fail。 Classics never seem to live up to the hype。 This is a series of short stories that tells the story of Robots in the future。 I do not mind it not aging well。 That happens in all books。 The book just didn't seem to flow for me。 I'll read some more Asimov。 I'm not ready to write it off yet。 It seems to never fail。 Classics never seem to live up to the hype。 This is a series of short stories that tells the story of Robots in the future。 I do not mind it not aging well。 That happens in all books。 The book just didn't seem to flow for me。 I'll read some more Asimov。 I'm not ready to write it off yet。 。。。more

If I'd read this NOT directly after Asimov's Foundation （OG） trilogy， I might have rated it higher。 But idk it has some cool ideas， like I've come to expect with him， but the characters & dialogue piss me off too much。 Every single character （except for bae Stephen Byerley） seems to constantly be mad & agitated or emotionally absent & going through some hard times。 I don't need it。 Everyone is always on the verge of a breakdown， there is no standard emotion besides frustration & sometimes indiff If I'd read this NOT directly after Asimov's Foundation （OG） trilogy， I might have rated it higher。 But idk it has some cool ideas， like I've come to expect with him， but the characters & dialogue piss me off too much。 Every single character （except for bae Stephen Byerley） seems to constantly be mad & agitated or emotionally absent & going through some hard times。 I don't need it。 Everyone is always on the verge of a breakdown， there is no standard emotion besides frustration & sometimes indifferent superiority。 People are always grinning humourously & seemingly shouting at the person they're talking to in random moments of emotional upheaval for some of the world's greatest scientists。 Calvin became kinda more interesting towards the end， but was still someone I'd hold personal disdain for if I had to have a conversation with them。 I like the way he made all the short stories feel more like a novel， that was neat。 Anyway， I liked it， have started Caves of Steel （which in its first chapter already seems to already be in a completely different universe than the original short stories were in， even though he wanted to change that later） & look forward to reading a few more Robot stories before continuing with Foundation & inevitably being disappointed in the fact he tried to make it all a single universe without doing at least minor corrections in second editions of his books。 。。。more

it's a 3。5。 it's not what I usually read but a person who I love a lot recommended it to me so I had to read it。 there were a few parts I really enjoyed， but not the whole book。There was a time when humanity faced the universe alone and without a friend。 Now he has creatures to help him; stronger creatures than himself， more faithful， more useful， and absolutely devoted to him。 Mankind is no longer alone。 Have you ever thought of it that way？”“We have to，” was the unshaken response。 “Gloria has it's a 3。5。 it's not what I usually read but a person who I love a lot recommended it to me so I had to read it。 there were a few parts I really enjoyed， but not the whole book。There was a time when humanity faced the universe alone and without a friend。 Now he has creatures to help him; stronger creatures than himself， more faithful， more useful， and absolutely devoted to him。 Mankind is no longer alone。 Have you ever thought of it that way？”“We have to，” was the unshaken response。 “Gloria has lost five pounds in the last month and my little girl’s health is more important to me than your comfort。”“It’s a pity you didn’t think of your little girl’s health before you deprived her of her pet robot，” he muttered – but to himself。Grace Weston considered。 She turned toward Gloria and Robbie and watched them abstractedly for a moment。 Gloria had a grip about the robot’s neck that would have asphyxiated any creature but one of metal， and was prattling nonsense in half-hysterical frenzy。 Robbie’s chrome-steel arms （capable of bending a bar of steel two inches in diameter into a pretzel） wound about the little girl gently and lovingly， and his eyes glowed a deep， deep red。“Well，” said Mrs Weston， at last， “I guess he can stay with us until he rusts。”“Surely you know the fundamental First Law of Robotics。”The other two nodded together。 “Certainly，” said Bogert， Irritably， “a robot may not injure a human being or， through inaction， allow him to come to harm”“How nicely put，” sneered Calvin。“But what kind of harm？”“Why – any kind。”“Exactly！ Any kind！ But what about hurt feelings？ What about deflation of one’s ego？ What about the blasting of one’s hopes？ Is that injury？”“And I suppose that is why，” said Lanning， tonelessly， “it would not answer a little while ago。 It couldn’t answer either way without hurting one of us。”The psychologist paid no attention。 “You must tell them， but if you do， you hurt， so you mustn’t; but if you don’t， you hurt， so you must; but–”And Herbie screamed！It was like the whistling of a piccolo many times magnified – shrill and shriller till it keened with the terror of a lost soul and filled the room with the piercingness of itself。And when it died into nothingness， Herbie collapsed into a huddled heap of motionless metal。Bogert’s face was bloodless， “He’s dead！”“No！” Susan Calvin burst into body-racking gusts of wild laughter， “not dead – merely insane。 I confronted him with the insoluble dilemma， and he broke down。 You can scrap him now – because he’ll never speak again。”It was minutes after the two scientists left that Dr Susan Calvin regained part of her mental equilibrium。 Slowly， her eyes turned to the living-dead Herbie and the tightness returned to her face。 Long she stared while the triumph faded and the helpless frustration returned – and of all her turbulent thoughts only one infinitely bitter word passed her lips。“Liar！”“I’ll put it shortly， Byerley。 Your crippled teacher is the real Stephen Byerley。 You are his robot creation。 We can prove it。 It was he who was in the automobile accident， not you。 There will be ways of checking the records。”“Really？“I mean there is one time when a robot may strike a human being without breaking the First Law。 Just one time。”“And when is that？”Dr Calvin was at the door。 She said quietly， “When the human to be struck is merely another robot。”She smiled broadly， 。。。more

Was expecting an entertaining story to color my fading memories of the Will Smith movie - wooops。 This book is a collection of short stories incorporating badly-aged scientific understanding and pseudo logic to explore ethical and existential implications of robotics。 Interesting， I’m sure， for its 1950s time but often feels silly in current context。

Jedná se o knihu sci-fi povídek。 V knize se vyskytuje 9 povídek。 V předmluvě se píše: „Povídková sbírka JÁ， ROBOT patří do zlatého fondu science fiction a lze ji směle označit za jednu z nejznámějších prací světové literatury。“ Autor se proslavil tím， že vymyslel 3 ROBOTICKÉ ZÁKONY。 Tyto zákony jsou v jednotlivých povídkách připomínány a je na ně neustále kladen zřetel。 Povídky jsou vzájemně propojeny a vyskytuje se v nich například robopsycholožka Susan Calvinová， cestovatelé Powell a Donovan。 Jedná se o knihu sci-fi povídek。 V knize se vyskytuje 9 povídek。 V předmluvě se píše: „Povídková sbírka JÁ， ROBOT patří do zlatého fondu science fiction a lze ji směle označit za jednu z nejznámějších prací světové literatury。“ Autor se proslavil tím， že vymyslel 3 ROBOTICKÉ ZÁKONY。 Tyto zákony jsou v jednotlivých povídkách připomínány a je na ně neustále kladen zřetel。 Povídky jsou vzájemně propojeny a vyskytuje se v nich například robopsycholožka Susan Calvinová， cestovatelé Powell a Donovan。 Líbily se mi názvy některých robotů – Rychlík， Staroušek。 Celkově se mi povídky četly dobře， ačkoliv kniha byla vydána v roce 1950。 Nemůžu říci， že všechny povídky byly úplně čtivé a zaujaly mne na 100 %， z druhého hlediska měl autor všechno promyšleno tak， aby byly uplatněny robotické zákony， takže robotické zákony byly originálním námětem， se kterým žádný autor do té doby ještě nepřišel。 Nejvíce se mi líbily například tyto povídky: Robbie， Hra na honěnou， Rozum， Důkaz aj。， méně se mi líbila například povídka Konflikt nikoliv nevyhnutelný。 U některých povídek jsem se musel více zamyslet。 Knihu jsem hodnotil na 80 %。V předmluvě se píše: „ASIMOV nebyl nikterak výrazným stylistou， naopak， jeho práce jsou napsány co nejprostším slohem nadšeného vědce se schopností předávat čtenářům vědecké poznatky srozumitelnou cestou。 A právě to byl talent， pro který byl ceněn snad nejvíce， nemluvě o oddanosti fantastického žánru a jeho neúnavné popularizaci。“ Podle autorovy předlohy byl natočen také film ANDREW - ČLEN NAŠÍ RODINY， kde hlavní roli ztvárnil Robin William nebo film JÁ， ROBOT， kde hlavní roli ztvárnil Will Smith。 V předmluvě se píše， že filmy nedosáhly kvality knižního zpracování。 Mám pocit， že filmy jsem v minulosti viděl， ale asi ne od úplného začátku， už si nevzpomínám。Zjistil jsem， že v tomto vydání je OBSAH trochu zmatený。 Všechny povídky neodpovídají počátečním stranám， které jsou u nich uvedeny。 Například povídka Robbie odkazuje na stranu 17， přitom ve skutečnosti začíná stranou 15 a obdobně jsou na tom všechny další povídky。 Došlo k chybě， ale to je jen drobnost。 Určitě by to nemělo být pravidlem。 Kniha má pěkný přebal。Námět robotů je v současné době aktuální， protože v hodně knihách a filmech se vyskytují roboti。 Někdy si pokládám otázky， jestli by nemohlo v budoucnosti dojít k tomu， že by roboti převzali vládu nad lidmi ať by to bylo způsobeno různými příčinami， třeba chybou v softwaru， nebo by někdo na dálku do nich poslal nějaký vir apod。 Ale to jsou asi moc divoké představy， ale člověk nikdy neví。 Určitě časem budou stále ve větším měřítku nahrazovat práci lidí， protože jsou výkonnější， spolehlivější， udělají více práce， zaměstnavatelé budou mít na ně menší náklady než na člověka。 Určitě mohou zaujmout některá místa v průmyslu， anebo třeba mohou převzít místo ve filmovém průmyslu nebo v televizi。 Mohou sloužit v kuchyni nebo jako číšníci。 Mohou sloužit tím， že budou dělat společnost dětem， jak tomu bylo v povídce Robbie v této knize， anebo uplatnění mohou nalézt v oblasti sexu。 Uplatnění by se našlo bezpočet。 Když se nad tím zamyslím， tak mám trochu z toho obavy， aby nakonec nevytlačili lidskou společnost na okraj a skutečně nedošlo k tomu， že se to lidem vymkne kontrole a už to nepůjde vrátit zpět。 Vědci a konstruktéři by měli být opatrní， aby to nedopadlo tak， že lidé budou sloužit robotům， anebo dojde k úplnému vyhubení lidstva。 Co když se robot bude schopen učit do takové míry， že jeho myšlení bude mnohonásobně větší než lidské a už nebude závislý na člověku？！ Tyto moje úvahy mohou působit legračně a k smíchu， ale co když je to reálné riziko pro lidstvo a lidé tomu nepřikládají žádnou důležitost。 V jedné povídce jsem fandil robotovi a říkal jsem si， že jeho povahové vlastnosti a charakter jsou mnohem lepší než u člověka a že by nebylo nic špatného na tom， kdyby získal práci， kterou chtěl zastávat。 Takže má to svá PRO a PROTI， ale pořád bych cítil nějaké vzdálené nebezpečí， které by mohlo nastat。。 。。。more

Though this book does suffer from most of Asimov's weaknesses as a writer， the groundbreaking nature of these collected stories far outweighs these problems。 He basically laid the groundwork for all robot-related sci-fi in just under 300 pages。 The concepts of freewill and humanity vis a vis robots vs。 humans are still being explored this day。 In more depth and with more nuance， granted， but they wouldn't exist without this collection， making it essential for all sci-fi fans。 Though this book does suffer from most of Asimov's weaknesses as a writer， the groundbreaking nature of these collected stories far outweighs these problems。 He basically laid the groundwork for all robot-related sci-fi in just under 300 pages。 The concepts of freewill and humanity vis a vis robots vs。 humans are still being explored this day。 In more depth and with more nuance， granted， but they wouldn't exist without this collection， making it essential for all sci-fi fans。 。。。more

Very impressive。 Starting from the beginning of the robot age to the very last stop where robots are very similar to mankind is very attractive way of telling a story。 The best thing I like about Asimov is that he does not give unnecessary information throughout the whole story， just the important parts。 Awesome
