IsaacAsimov，AmericanJew,anAmericanscientistandoneofthemostgreatsciencefictionwriters.Hewrotesomanyworkswhichareknownasinteresting,creative,imaginative,describeeventsandpeoplethatdonotexist.IsaacAsimovIsaacAsimov(1920-1992)

艾薩克·阿西莫夫是美籍猶太人，為本世紀最頂尖的科幻小說家之一，曾獲代表科幻界最高榮譽的雨果獎和星云終身成就大師獎。以他的名字為號召的《艾西莫夫科幻雜志》是美國當今數一數二的科幻文學重鎮。

《基地》、《機器人》等系列是艾西莫夫最膾炙人口的代表作。艾西莫夫通過宏觀視野使他的作品處處閃動著關懷人類未來的筆觸，超越一般科幻作品的局限。

IsaacAsimov(1920-1992)

阿西莫夫不僅是哥倫比亞大學的化學博士，更是世聞名的全能作家，一生著書達四百八十余本，內容廣及科學類的數理化、天文、生物、醫學，還旁涉人文類的文學、宗教、史地等。如此淵博的學識使他的筆下世界具備了奇幻的想像與高度的預言性。幾乎每一本有關機器人發展史的書籍都提到他、他的小說與他發明的“機器人三定律”。他的“機器人三定律”幾乎成了以后科幻作家創作有關機器人的作品時必須遵循的法則。Asimov’slawsforrobots艾薩克

阿西莫夫的“機器人三定律”：

一、機器人不能害人，也不能坐視人類被害。

二、在不違反定律一的前提下，機器人要聽人的話。

三、在不違反定律一、二的前提下，機器人要盡量保住自己。firstlaw:
