Summary

Isaac Asimov’s ROBOT series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day. 
How could robots be used in a time of war? Could a robot be raised like a child? Could we allow them to have children of their own? Is there any human profession that could never be performed by a robotic replacement? 
In The Rest of the Robots, robopsychologist Dr. Susan Calvin and engineers Powell and Donovan return to investigate many more puzzling anomalies and catastrophic malfunctions. 
With characteristic wit, foresight and imagination, Asimov’s stories uncover the practical and ethical issues humanity will encounter in a robotic future. 
Asimov's hard sci-fi novel is a metaphysical adventure into the latest developments in robotic science. The story, though short, is a visionary exploration of the space opera genre. 
For fans of Frank Herbert (Children Of Dune), Robert Heinlein (Stranger in a Strange Land), Cixin Liu (Of Ants and Dinosaurs), Dan Simmons (The Terror), and James S. A. Corey (Nemesis Games).
