	Roger Clarke's Asimov's Laws of Robotics
		Asimov was not the first to conceive of well-engineered, non-threatening robots, but he pursued the theme with such enormous imagination and persistence that most of the ideas that have emerged in this branch of science fiction are identifiable with his stories.
		Asimov investigated this in an early short story and later in a novel: A mind-reading robot interprets the first law as requiring him to give people not the correct answers to their questions but the answers that he knows they want to hear 14,16,17.
		Asimov suggested one class of deadlock that would not occur: If in a given situation a robot knew that it was powerless to prevent harm to a human, then the first law would be inoperative; the third law would become relevant, and it would not self- immolate in a vain attempt to save the human.

	Charges shatter Asimov son's reclusion
		Asimov, a short, chubby man with a thick mustache, has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts alleging possession of pornographic material with the intention of distributing or selling it.
		Asimov's attorney, Chris Andrian, said the prosecution's theory of the case was both "presumptive" and probably all wrong.
		Asimov is the eldest child of two children born to Isaac Asimov's first wife, Gertrude Blugerman.

	Isaac Asimov Home Page
		Asimov developed the Three Laws (with the help of his editor John W. Campbell) because he was tired of the science fiction stories of the 1920s and 1930s in which the robots, like Frankenstein's creation, turned on their creators and became dangerous monsters.
		Isaac Asimov was born in Petrovichi, Russia, in 1920.
		At their virtual history exhibit is a letter from Asimov to an editor at Horn Book, after he received an unexpectedly large payment, asking to make sure that he wasn't overpaid.

	Psychohistory Was Hari Seldon pulling our leg?
		I first read Foundation at about twelve, and it made a deep impression on me. Rereading it, I can see the source of some of my own juvenilia-- stories of interplanetary and parliamentary intrigue, conveyed entirely by talk, with a charismatic but inscrutable figure in the center.
		Asimov assumes that a superior economy can maintain its dominion indefinitely-- a hypothesis that looked more plausible in 1951 than in 1997.
		Asimov's analysis-- "Cleon is strong because he permits no strong subjects"-- is simply ahistorical.

		Asimov fans and others who like their sci-fi on the chewy side will probably revolt -- the essence of the book is gone.
		The film's producers then acquired the rights to the Asimov book and decided to combine the two stories.
		That may be what moviegoers expect to do over the summer, but it's the last thing Asimov, a master of clear, sharp logic, would have wanted.

		These are the kind of story that so hold you that they make breaking free of a fl hole look like a piece of cake.
		This book is a prequel to his Hugo Award-winning novel A Fire Upon the Deep, a story that falls firmly into the aforementioned category of captivating tales.
		Within the fued between Tine packs can be found the evils that come with territorial instinct, the dangers of evolutionary manipulation, and the problems that arise when technological development outpaces social development—something that we humans understand all too well.

	Isaac Asimov -- Out of Print Non-fiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In this, his 23rd collection of essays, Asimov transports the reader from the earth's core to the farthest reaches of outer space.
		In this engaging study of the physical world, Asimov explores the natural scientific phenomena that people question on a daily basis.
		This latest in a barrage of environmental overviews by big names takes a lowest-common-denominator approach, chatting up readers in discursive if not patronizing prose that spends much time assessing concepts such as Gaia and countering implied arguments that might be made by people who are either simple-minded or misinformed.

	Review of "The Deep"
		A non-human race driven into the interior of their planet as a result of the slow cooling of their sun resorts to a desperate plan to colonize a new home before their old one dies completely—to colonize the interior of another planet, the Earth.
		Asimov set out in this story to create a race for whom mother love is perverse and repugnant, and on that level he succeeds.
		The main problem is that, surrounded by stronger material in The Martian Way and Other Stories, this tale tends to look anemic in comparison.

	Radio National The Deep End Film Reviews
		Julie Rigg: Yes, I don’t think Asimov is much read these days but the ideas came from his first collection of short stories in 1950, which were published under this title.
		It was a collection of nine short stories about robots and in them Asimov developed his three laws of robotics, which were designed to change the way people thought about robots.
		Julie Rigg: Yes and it's interesting that Asimov wrote these when artificial intelligence was just a theory on the horizon, though fifty years ago people were already discussing the possibility of robots who design robots.

		Hollywood blockbusters have their own set of rules, too: Drop in little commercials for products whenever you can, replace meaningful dialogue with witty repartee, build lots of fight scenes, end happily (by saving the world, if budget permits) and dilute any brainy stuff.

	Books by Isaac Asimov
		His entry into the best-seller charts assured that Asimov would write a sf book or two a year for the rest of his life -- mostly expanding the universes he created in his youth.
		Asimov created the three laws of robotics -- that a robot would never harm a human being, by its inaction never cause a human being harm, and that it should look out for its own survival.

		Faster-than-light travel remains impossible near Earth, deep in the galaxy's Slow Zone--but physical laws relax in the surrounding Beyond.
		The concepts introduced in _Fire Upon the Deep_ are fascinating: Zones of Thought, Skroderiders, Powers, Transcendence--and particularly the Known Net, an Internet-like contrivance which links a good part of the galaxy together.
		Balanced against these science fictional elements is the more fantastic setting of Tines' World, a medieval land inhabited by dog-like creatures who communicate through telepathy and have an intriguing method of genetic engineering.
