Long out of print and in great demand, here again is Isaac Asimov's famous science fiction classic

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. --back cover

Dry but solid exploration of of "the three laws" and its ramifications

4 stars

Isaac Asimov: I, Robot (Paperback, 1984, Del Rey) 4 stars

I read it in dribs and drabs over the past few months. Although obviously anachronistic about robotic hardware, computer technology, and gender relations since it was written so long ago it was still a great exploration of how "the three laws" of robotics plays out in life scenarios. I loved the vignette style format and its attempt to deep dive into the technical problems being explored. I can see why all that is way too dry for others though.
