The stories originally appeared in the American magazines and between 1940 and 1950 and were then compiled into a book for stand-alone publication by in 1950, in an initial edition of 5,000 copies. The stories are woven together by a in which the fictional Dr. Tells each story to a reporter (who serves as the narrator) in the 21st century. Although the stories can be read separately, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, and, and when combined they tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of.Several of the stories feature the character of Dr. Calvin, chief at, Inc., the major manufacturer of robots. Upon their publication in this collection, Asimov wrote a presenting the stories as Calvin's reminiscences during an interview with her about her life's work, chiefly concerned with aberrant behaviour of robots and the use of ' to sort out what is happening in their.
The book also contains the short story in which Asimov's first appear, which had large influence on later science fiction and had impact on thought on as well. Other characters that appear in these short stories are, a field-testing team which locates flaws in USRMM's prototype models.The collection shares a title with the 1939 short story ' by (pseudonym of Earl and ), which greatly influenced Asimov.
Asimov had wanted to call his collection Mind and Iron and objected when the publisher made the title the same as Binder's. In his introduction to the story in Isaac Asimov Presents the Great SF Stories (1979), Asimov wrote:It certainly caught my attention.
Two months after I read it, I began 'Robbie', about a sympathetic robot, and that was the start of my positronic robot series. Eleven years later, when nine of my robot stories were collected into a book, the publisher named the collection I, Robot over my objections. My book is now the more famous, but Otto's story was there first. Contents.Contents.

Recommended the collection 'For puzzle situations, for humor, for warm character, and for most of the values of plain good writing'. Dramatic adaptations Television At least three of the short stories from I, Robot have been adapted for television.
The first was a 1962 episode of hosted by called ' with as. Two short stories from the collection were made into episodes of: 'The Prophet' (1967), based on '; and ' (1969). The 12th episode of the science fiction TV series, filmed in 1987 and entitled Don't Joke with Robots, was based on works by and as well as Asimov's ' story.Both the and of The Outer Limits include episodes named 'I, Robot'; however, both are adaptations of the Earl and Otto Binder story of that name and are unconnected with Asimov's work.Films Harlan Ellison's screenplay (1978) In the late 1970s, acquired the to make a film based on the book, but no screenplay was ever accepted. The most notable attempt was one by, who collaborated with Asimov himself to create a version which captured the spirit of the original. Asimov is quoted as saying that this screenplay would lead to 'the first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made.' Ellison's script builds a framework around Asimov's short stories that involves a reporter named Robert Bratenahl tracking down information about Susan Calvin's alleged former lover Stephen Byerly. Asimov's stories are presented as that differ from the originals in their stronger emphasis on Calvin's character.
Ellison placed Calvin into stories in which she did not originally appear and fleshed out her character's role in ones where she did. In constructing the script as a series of flashbacks that focused on character development rather than action, Ellison used the film as a model.Although acclaimed by critics, the screenplay is generally considered to have been unfilmable based upon the technology and average film budgets of the time. Asimov also believed that the film may have been scrapped because of a conflict between Ellison and the producers: when the producers suggested changes in the script, instead of being diplomatic as advised by Asimov, Ellison 'reacted violently' and offended the producers. The script was serialized in magazine in late 1987, and eventually appeared in book form under the title I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay, in 1994 (reprinted 2004, ).2004 film.

However, the plot of the movie is mostly original work adapted from the screenplay Hardwired by, completely unlinked to Asimov's stories and has been compared to Asimov's, which revolves around the murder of a roboticist (although the rest of the film's plot is not based on that novel or other works by Asimov). Unlike the books by Asimov, the movie featured hordes of killer robots.Radio aired an audio drama adaptation of five of the I, Robot stories on their in 2017, dramatized by Richard Kurti and starring.

See also:In 2004 said that I, Robot's 'revolutionized the science fiction genre and made robots far more interesting than they ever had been before.' I, Robot has influenced many aspects of modern popular culture, particularly with respect to science fiction and technology. One example of this is in the technology industry. The name of the real-life modem manufacturer named was directly inspired by I, Robot. The name is taken from the name of a robot manufacturer ('United States Robots and Mechanical Men') that appears throughout Asimov's robot short stories.Many works in the field of science fiction have also paid homage to Asimov's collection.An episode of the original series, ' (1967), which depicts a planet of androids in need of humans references I, Robot. Another reference appears in the title of a episode, ' (1992), in which Geordi La Forge befriends a lost member of the Borg collective and teaches it a sense of individuality and free will.' S 1977 story, references I, Robot with the 'First Principle' stating: 'It is forbidden for robots to harm humans'.In, a 1986 movie, the synthetic person Bishop paraphrases Asimov's First Law in the line: 'It is impossible for me to harm, or by omission of action allow to be harmed, a human being.'
An episode of entitled ' (2004) has build a robot named 'Smashius Clay' (also named 'Killhammad Aieee') that follows all three of Asimov's laws of robotics.The science fiction/comedy makes several references to I, Robot. The title of the episode ' (1999) is a spoof on I, Robot although the plot of the episode has little to do with the original stories. Additionally, the episode ' included an optician named 'Eye Robot' and the episode ' included a segment called 'I, Meatbag.' Also in ' (2008) the psychiatrist is shown a logical fallacy and explodes when the assistant shouts 'Liar!' Leela once told Bender to 'cover his ears' so that he would not hear the robot-destroying paradox which she used to destroy Robot Santa (he punishes the bad, he kills people, killing is bad, therefore he must punish himself), causing a total breakdown; additionally, Bender has stated that he is Three Laws Safe.The, which Asimov named his robots' central processors, is what powers from Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as other Soong type androids.

In its original conception, the album was to follow the themes and concepts presented in the short story collection.
The Alan Parsons Project were not able to obtain the rights in spite of Asimov's enthusiasm; he had already assigned the rights elsewhere. Thus, the album's concept was altered slightly although the name was kept (minus comma to avoid copyright infringement). The 2009 album, by Singaporean band draws heavily upon Asimov's principles on robotics and applies it to the concept of cloning.The Indian science fiction film, released in 2010, refers to Asimov's three laws for artificial intelligence for the fictional character Chitti: The Robot. When a scientist takes in the robot for evaluation, the panel enquires whether the robot was built using the Three Laws of Robotics.The theme for Burning Man 2018 was 'I, Robot'.
