For the Sci Fi Fan “I, Robot” Vintage paperback Isaac Asimov 1970 printing
$14.00
This is a "very good" vintage 1970 Fawcett paperback, short story collection by Isaac Asimov.
Mild edge and surface wear on covers, very minimal signs of reading use. Text block is square, closes tightly. A date stamp on the outer text block edge, reading "Apr 28 1975" - likely from a used book store back in the day. A very subtle crease in the spine, not color breaking. Original cover price on front cover and spine blacked out, otherwise no marks or writing. No loose, torn or folded pages. Very presentable 55 year old vintage paperback! Really nice vintage copy! See accompanying images for full condition details. Enter the groundbreaking world of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot, the seminal 1950 collection that forever changed how we imagine artificial intelligence. Through nine interconnected short stories framed by the reminiscences of Dr. Susan Calvin, the pioneering robopsychologist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Asimov introduces his revolutionary Three Laws of Robotics—the ethical framework that would influence science fiction for generations. From "Robbie," the gentle nursemaid robot who forms an unbreakable bond with a young girl, to the chilling implications of "The Evitable Conflict," where super-intelligent Machines quietly manipulate humanity's future, each tale explores the complex moral landscape where human and artificial minds intersect. Meet Speedy, trapped in a logical loop on Mercury; Herbie, the telepathic robot driven to madness by conflicting imperatives; and Stephen Byerley, the politician whose humanity itself becomes the central mystery. Asimov's robots aren't the rampaging monsters of pulp fiction—they're thoughtful, sometimes flawed beings whose dilemmas mirror our own deepest questions about consciousness, free will, and what it truly means to be human. This vintage collection remains startlingly relevant as we stand on the threshold of real artificial intelligence, making it essential reading for anyone fascinated by the ethical challenges of our technological future. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
