[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512040583336","data":"Issac Asimov has to be one of my favourite Science Fiction writers of all time. The period he was active in was home to many of Sci-Fi's greatest writers, but Asimov is the one who had the most impact on me. As funny as it sounds, I didn't actually start reading Asimov until I watched Will Smith's I, Robot in theatres, which was an adaptation of his book. <\/p>Enthralled by the story and how it moved, enchanted by the three rules of robotics that Asimov lays down that, to this day, is still used by other Sci-Fi writers in their own works, I, Robot was my entry into the world of Sci-Fi outside of video games, the stories of which were inspired from the Sci-Fi greats themselves.  <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1512040779993","data":"5a1fee9389ba5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512040781467","data":"The Three Laws Of Robotics: <\/b> <\/p>In the story, Asimov writes that every artificial intelligent robot must adhere to the three rules of robotics laid down by the creators (in this case, Humans). They are as follows. <\/p>1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.<\/p>2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.<\/p>3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. <\/p>As you can see, the three laws seem pretty air tight to quell any rebellion against humanity. But, are they really are?<\/p>I, Robot is one of those stories that make you sit back in shock and awe because of just how much the story blows your mind. It made me think just how can anyone be so good as to write a story this deep, this understanding of the nature of a human being and how survival instincts are put to the test when pushed to its limits. It asks us what the meaning of life is, what does it mean to be alive, it questions slavery, racism, trust and even friendship. <\/p>I, Robot changed the world, it changed how Sci-Fi was written, it influenced countless movies and even more video games. It is a cultural landmark, and everyone must read it. <\/p>"}]
