Here is Isaac Asimov's famous science fiction classic I-ROBOT
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN ROBOT?
You may not believe it, but robots have problems too. Just like humans. In these mind-spinning tales, Isaac Asimov brings us an astonishing and delightful vision of a tomorrow filled with marvels and miracles—of computers in human form so incredibly real you cannot tell the man from the machine without a scorecard.
"To you, a robot is a robot. Gears and metal. Electricity and positrons. Mind and iron! Human-made! If necessary, human- destroyed. But you haven't worked with them, so you don't know them. They're a cleaner, better breed than we are." —Dr. Susan Calvin, 2057 A.D. --back cover
Une série de courtes nouvelles qui abordent joliment des thématiques centrales de la SF. L'esprit des années 1950 transparait dans chaque histoire, et on pourrait trouver certains passages datés ou naïfs, mais l'auteur se projette dans l'avenir en traçant des pistes possibles qui demeurent pertinentes. Si la figure du robot dans les œuvres de fiction vous fascine, cette lecture est vivement recommandée.
