Did Asimovs creation of the Three Laws of Robotics change robots forever?
Asimov himself believed that his Laws became the basis for a new view of robots, which moved beyond the “Frankenstein complex”. His view that robots are more than “mechanical monsters” eventually spread throughout science fiction. Stories written by other authors have depicted robots as if they obeyed the Three Laws, but tradition dictates that only Dr. Asimov could quote the Laws explicitly.
