Long out of print and in great demand, here again is the famous science fiction classic—

i, robot

Isaac Asimov

"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.

In a brilliant, chilling series of nine related short stories, the author chronicles robot development from its crude mid-twentieth century beginnings to a state of such perfection that a hundred years later robots are running man's world for his own good. Dr. Asimov has endowed his mechanical creations with disarmingly human personalities—from Robbie, the beloved, mute nursemaid of an eight-year-old girl, to Stephen Byerley who was elected first World Co-ordinator.
