The very first page of the book introduces the three laws of roboics which play the book's creed from there on... What's so good about I Robot is the approach on robotics... Asimov doesn't bother to tell how or why they work, except by a few certain mentions of some important parts' tasks... But the main idea is how the laws enter in conflict with the world surrounding the robots.. The tasks they've been given and how some times the three laws aren't quite enough to keep men safe. And obviously a very important part is the psychology of the robots themselves, how they reach conclusions and come up with theories about their own existance or their relationship with mankind. The very last chapters feature a thrilling story on the incursion of robots in society, undercover of course, and how they take control not only not disobeying the 3 laws, but seeking their fulfilling. I robot isn't a series itself, but a very shocking episode of what awaits mankind on the path of deciding how far to go into robotics, especifically artificial intelligence. However, other of Asimov's books, the robots of dawn is a very complete series that will, just as I robot, keep you on the very edge of your seat. Asimov wrote several other stories about robots, about the Sci-Fi genre and about the craft of writing Sci-Fi itself. Always, proving very advanced to his era and foreseeing quite successully how much there is to robotics and ai that many even today don't even think about.

So i went to the website and was completely confused. The website gives no hint that it is a movie. However after doing some more digging I found that it was actually going to be a movie. I am very excited about this because i have read almost all of Asimov's books on robots and they were possibly the best books i Have ever read. The way he explores the 3 Laws that "keep the robots from harming the humans" is amazing. I can't wait for this movie.

When i looked at the site i could have sworn it mentioned something about the movie. But it said that the movie would release the same day that the Robot would. That way they could market Both. I dont seem how they could go and mess with people like that. Well when it comes to July 16 I'll see for myself if it is a Fake. So if it is i will be more than mad. I was planning on getting one. And one last thing, Why is it you can design your own and register for information on the NS-5? Well i guess we'll have to find out. If anyone wants to talk to me about it e-mail me. Hmmm….

If the viewer can be convinced that this add IS real, then how far off are we from it BEING real? We better start thinking and creating laws TODAY, so we are not caught off guard like we were with cloning. The web site was VERY thought-provoking and controversial, just as Asimov had intended his book to be. An absolutely excellent web site, I am showing it to all of my computer engineering students, before they find out the web site's true purpose, and it is invoking considerable discussion about the problems and concerns regarding the introduction of robotics. Since they did not know the intent of the site, and genuinely believed that the robot was real, the discussions were VERY intense and heart-felt. Maybe, through sites like this, and movies like the Matrix (especially Animatrix)and I, Robot, we will be prepared. Compared to AI, Millenium Man, and the Terminator movies, I, Robot is MUCH closer to reality, and hits home a lot harder. The reality of it can not be dismissed. The gut feelings that the web site is producing in people are real - people are feeling true emotions, not fake, artificially manipulated feelings of typical "Hollywood" movies.

And if they were to sell this robot to the public, with it being able to do all the things they said it would be able to do, the price of such a machine would have to be very expensive.
