Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The three laws of robotics:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own safety as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
—Handbook of Robotics, 56th edition, 2058 AD

Each of them challenges the reader's thinking limit with its extremely genius and wonderful creativity.

About the Author · · · · · ·
Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), a Russian-American writer, is hailed as a "god-like man" by readers all over the world; the US government awarded him the unique title of "National Resource and Natural Miracle" in recognition of his outstanding contribution to "expanding human imagination."
Asimov is an all-knowing and versatile writer, whose works cover many fields, from popular novels to the history of the Roman Empire, from popular science books to the Bible and scientific guides. Each of his works is simple, rigorous and humorous.
Asimov was also a prophetic writer. He predicted today's biotechnology, artificial intelligence, digital libraries in the Internet age, and even the fact that humans would colonize space. Throughout his life, he believed that his greatest contribution was the invention of a set of robot ethics rules - the "Three Laws of Robotics". This set of rules created the literary genre of modern robot science fiction and became the basic rules of contemporary robotics. The "intelligent computers" in Asimov's works have had a profound impact on later science fiction writers and even scientists, so he is honored as the "father of robot science fiction."
Asimov's representative works are: robot science fiction novels and the "Galactic Empire" series.
