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

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.

Interessant über die Anfänge der Roboter zu lesen, aber nur mäßig spannend

Das Buch beschäftigt sich in mehreren voneinander Unabhängigen Erzählungen mit der Entwicklung von Robotern und insbesondere mit den Widersprüchlichkeiten, die aus den drei Gesetzen der Robotik entstehen.

Als Ergänzung zu den Foundation Romanen interessant, bleibt es aber qualitativ hinter ihnen zurück.
