Susan Calvin est robopsychologue à l'United States Robots, Inc. Née en 1982, elle a aujourd'hui 75 ans. Ce livre relate ses souvenirs sur l'évolution du robot dans l'histoire humaine, depuis Robbie qui, en 1996, fut vendu comme bonne d'enfants jusqu'à Byerley qui devient président de la Fédération mondiale terrestre en 2044.

A travers ces récits, on voit comment le robot, d'abord esclave soumis à l'homme, parvient peu à peu à être son égal, avant de devenir son maître.

Les souvenirs du Dr Calvin forment un livre au charme désuet qui fait revivre l'aube du XXIe siècle, époque où l'homme existait encore indépendamment de son compagnon de métal, le robot. --back cover

I've read other Asimov and enjoyed his work immensely, but this one was.. Okay? Like, its a collection of short stories that center around the logic in the three laws of robotics, but the problem is that some of the logic the characters employ isn't exactly logical? It was rather annoying to be screaming at the book about an obvious solution where the book also seemed to pride itself on being cerebral.

Colección de relatos cortos en los que Asimov plantea las tres leyes de la robótica. Escritos en los 50, se nota de forma perceptible el paso del tiempo por ellos. Sin embargo, su importancia para el resto del universo, la concepción social que supuso de los Robots, las leyes y que los relatos están basados en la psicología y aspectos sociales de los robots, lo hacen un imprescindible (y origen) del universo de Asimov.

It
did not take too long into I, Robot for me to realize why it went far beyond every other science fiction book I had read. Isaac Asimov fails miserably in convincing the 21st century reader about the mechanics and the so called positronic brain of his futuristic robots. In fact, he does not even try. However, that does not matter because the 9 short stories in this book explore something quite extraordinary: robopsychology, the analysis of the thinking and behavior of robots governed by the Three Laws of Robotics. Published in science fiction magazines between 1940 and 1950, these stories span the lifetime of the prime character, a Dr. Susan Calvin, a robopsychologist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men. In each of these stories, Susan recalls an interesting problem or dilemma faced in robot-human interaction.

The stories are in chronological order of …
