Yeah, I’ve read my Asimov. Love that guy. I knownsome haven’t, so Im glad you’ve included them. It was a student of mine who got me to read Caves of Steel for the first time. I thought they were excellent.
Strangely, I’ve only seen the 2004(?) Will Smith version of I, Robot. But, I digress.
The prompt for that post moved me. To think that we could break human affairs down to just three laws is enticing. I took a swing at it. That was what I had off the top of my head. I’d read a list — years ago — of Dene Law (it’s a PDF, sorry). Those were also an inspiration.
It really speaks to simple documents like the US Constitution in the context of human social hierarchy. Perhaps the next great empire will advance civil rights by extrapolating laws from an even smaller set of core values.
