The book "I, Robot" was written by whom?
Answer
Isaac Asimov
Answer
Isaac Asimov
The book I, Robot was written by Isaac Asimov. First published in 1950, it is a collection of linked science-fiction stories about the development of robots and the difficult problems created when machines follow human-made rules.
I, Robot is not a conventional novel with one continuous plot. Asimov assembled stories he had written during the 1940s and connected them with framing material featuring Susan Calvin, a roboticist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men. The collection helped popularize the Three Laws of Robotics, which require robots to avoid harming humans, obey human orders, and protect themselves, in that order of priority.
Readers sometimes confuse the book with the 2004 film starring Will Smith. The movie borrows ideas, terminology, and the title from Asimov, but its plot is not a direct adaptation of the collection. Another source of confusion is that an earlier story titled “I, Robot” had been published by Eando Binder; Asimov’s 1950 book nevertheless remains the famous work associated with the title.
