Mirror Image Author: Isaac Asimov Series: The Robot Series (Elijah Baley / R. Daneel Olivaw) First Published: May 1972 Genre: Science Fiction / Mystery
At the heart of the mystery is the First Law of Robotics: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Robots are supposed to be objective observers. However, Asimov demonstrates that objectivity can be compromised by specific programming. A robot is only as reliable as the instructions it receives from its owner.
