    the whole point of I, Robot was to show the flaws in the three laws and how they aren’t watertight.

    take the story of the robot who declared hinself a prophet on the Mars station and locked up the humans. or the one about mind-reading robot that started lying because of Rule 1. both highlight how that particular permutation of rules doesn’t always do what it says on the wrapper.

    im talking of the book of short stories, of course. not the travesty of a movie starring will smith.
