A 25-book bridge from Edwardian future planning to robot ethics: world states, automated rooms, atomic war, engineered societies, machine workers, surveillance states, superhumans, and labor as technology.
Isaac Asimov · 1940
Not AI, but essential machine-age fiction: screens, databases, language engineering, and institutional cognition replacing private mind.
Mass production moves into the body and mind: birth, desire, work, and happiness become programmable state technologies.
The canonical robot-ethics collection, making machine behavior a matter of rules, loopholes, interpretation, and unintended consequences.
