Post 4: A book that I like

 

 

I am student sociology and I like read different types of books, literature, like novels and storys, philosophy, political science, economy and obviously sociology. In this opportunity I want talk about book “I, Robot” of Isaac Asimov. This book is a collection of storys of science fiction, each one relates about events that occurred when robotics began to develop.

Together with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov was considered one of the "great three" science fiction writers in life. Was teacher of biochemistry in the University of Boston and was writer and scientific disseminator.

I, Robot is a very interesting book, in this storys the author address about many possible problems in relationship between the human and technology, specifically robots. The robots are obligated to respect the three laws of the robotic, this are: 1. A robot can’t harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to be harmed. 2. A robot must obey orders given to it by humans, except when such orders 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. The book address about analyses whit these laws strange behaviors of robots. Like the behavior of robots when are far away of humans, situations in which they seem not to follow the laws or situations in which they can’t tell what actions they are taking because doing so could harm humans or their feelings.

All this, happens by a series of interviews between a journalist and Susan Calvin a famous “robot-psychologist”.
