The robot that was bestowed with unimaginable precognician that survived for 20 Millenia patiently guiding humanity along the right path as prescribed by the Zeroth law of robotics forced on it that drove all other robots mad?
The robot that at every turn was curtailed by human lust and greed? That had to do horrible things because humanity lacked the foresight to see that charging a living being with "Doing no harm to humanity or by inaction causing harm" would be just awful for that soul?
Pretty sure Demerzel always worked in the shadows for the greater good. Especially when operating as Olivaw.
Seems to me like humans are the ones that kept messing up the laws of robotics. Not the other way around.
Sounds like an amazing story but I have never heard of it. What is it called?
It's the Robots->Empire->Foundation series written by Isaac Asimov and it's an amazing treat reading them in chronological order
Thanks, I will check it out.
You're in for a good couple of weeks to months of reading depending on how fast you read.
Really fun set of series. Reddit had a great Asimov sub with recommended reading orders since Asimov had the tendency to publish things in a weird timeline. Any way you choose is a fantastic time though.
