I, ROBOT

"I,ROBOT" is a famous collection of short Science Fiction stories written by Isaac Asimov, who is one of big three of SF novel writer as well as A. C. Clarke and R. A. Heinlein. In this novel a phrase which is famous principles of Robotics "Three Laws of Robotics" was used for the first time in the world.

Three laws of Robotics

1.A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2.A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First law.

3.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second law.

(Sorry, these contents of this laws are copied from Wikipedia.)

In this story, Susan Calvin, the chief robot psychologist, solves a large number of mysteries about strange behaviors of robots. For example, one robot should have killed one person, but three laws of robots in the robot's brain are absolute. Did the robot kill a human being? And if the robot killed a human being, why did the robot kill? There are a lot of mysteries in this novel. Moreover, the part of solution is logical and thrilling! Would you read it?

Hello. I am Yusuke. It is second posting.

This time I would like to introduce "the Lord of the Ring". This series are written by J.R.R.Torkien in 1954~1955. Now this series famous as one of "The greatest three fantasies in the world". As you know(you might have seen this in the movies), the story of these novels is that a boy(Frodo) belonging Hobbit race and his companion walk toward a volcano in Mordor(land of demons) under the rule of Sauron(king of demons) to destroy Sauron’s magical Ring. In this story, there are a lot of thrilling point. I think that the most thrilling point in the story is adventure of Frodo’s party. The party is found by Sauron easily because of the magical ring’s power. Moreover the ring have lots of charm so there are some people who betrayed Frodo in his party…

I think it is exciting, would you read this thrilling story?
