«Io, robot» is the science fiction short story collection by Isaac Asimov, published by Mondadori in paperback (252 pages, in Italian).
The protagonists are robots that resemble humans and are often unpredictable: some question their creators, others develop a sense of humor or learn to lie. Throughout these stories, Asimov explores where the mechanical ends and the living begins, and asks what truly distinguishes the human being from the machine. This anthology formulates for the first time the Three Fundamental Laws of Robotics, which influenced all subsequent science fiction. The stories combine irony and tenderness while revealing aspects of human nature.
Work originally published in 1950 under the title «I, Robot». This 2021 Italian edition, part of the Oscar moderni Cult collection, offers the new translation by Vincenzo Latronico.
Recommended for readers of classic science fiction and short stories who want to discover one of Isaac Asimov's essential titles about robots and artificial intelligence.
