Now what if we could replace the president of the USA with a completely identical, fully functioning, robot, one that is governed by the three laws?

Now that would be a huge improvement.

Next up is going to be, First Law.

A fairly “meh” story.   If you can’t guess what’s going on long before you’re told in the story then you’re a bit lacking in something.

But, one has to read the whole of the robot stories so one just has to accept that there’s going to be the odd one that just lacks somewhat and just get on and read it.

Next up is going to be, The Tercentenary Incident.

Another super good little story wherein we look at the future of childcare in our AI future, a future coming to a town near you.

Also the first story in which Susan Calvin appears, albeit briefly, as a young student.

Sometimes a broken thing can be far better than a perfect thing: wabi-sabi robots.

I totally remembered this story from when i read it decades ago, but it was just as enjoyable yesterday as it was all those years ago.

Next up is going to be, Segregationist.
