Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Isaac Asimov (1950) 'I, Robot', US first edition, first printing, published by Gnome Press. Signed and inscribed by the author on the date of publication for the publisher and founder of Gnome Press: "For: | Martin Greenberg | who actually got this | book out, by God | Love! | Isaac Asimov | 12/2/50". Also inscribed by Greenberg on the front pastedown: "Gnome Press/File Copy/Martin Greenberg". Housed in a stylish solander case for protection. Condition: a stunning fine and unread copy without any foxing. Clean throughout, tight and square. The dust jacket is near fine and a superb specimen without any of the usual fading to the spine. No tears nor chips. Light rubbing to the edges and a few creases to the head. Beautiful. This is the best association copy possible. Martin Greenberg founded the Gnome Press and convinced Asimov to publish the Robot short stories, which appeared in sci-fi magazines in the 1940s, as an anthology; hence the warm inscription. Gnome Press would also publish the famous Foundation trilogy. Later, Asimov and Greenberg would fall out with Asimov accusing Greenberg of underpaying his authors. I, Robot is famous for postulating the Three Laws of Robotics giving AI ethical guidelines. Given today's fast pace of AI technology development the book is prescient, urgent and crucial in the AI debate. This makes it one of the sexiest sci-fi titles on the market from an investment perspective. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).

First edition, first printing, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Dean McLaughlin, where would we be without readers? 12/2/50, Isaac Asimov". Dean Benjamin McLaughlin, Jr. (b. 1931) is an American science fiction author whose novels include Hawk Among the Sparrows (1968), which was nominated for the Hugo and Nebula awards for Best Novella, and Dawn (1980), inspired by Asimov's own Nightfall (1941). This landmark collection of short stories includes "Liar", in which the author coined the term "robotics", and "Runaround", in which he sets out for the first time his Three Laws of Robotics. "Upon realizing he had coined a new and lasting word, Asimov recognized the uniquely profitable position he had created for himself, and along with the successful prediction of space travel, self-driving cars, and war-computers among others, would go on to position himself as a sort of friendly-but-rough-around-the-edges technological herald, someone entertaining, trustworthy, and often right" (Jung). The nine stories collected here were originally printed in the magazines Super Science Stories and Astounding Science Fiction between 1940 and 1950. Gia Jung, "Our AI Overlord: The Cultural Persistence of Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics in Understanding Artificial Intelligence", Emergence, 5 June 2018. Octavo.

First edition, first printing, signed by the author on the front free endpaper, scarce thus. Asimov's landmark story collection includes "Liar!", which coined the term "robotics", and "Runaround", in which he first proposed the Three Laws of Robotics. The work's remarkable influence has extended from science fiction to cybernetics, posing increasingly prescient questions on what distinguishes man from machine. "Upon realizing he had coined a new and lasting word, Asimov recognized the uniquely profitable position he had created for himself, and along with the successful prediction of space travel, self-driving cars, and war-computers among others, would go on to position himself as a sort of friendly-but-rough-around-the-edges technological herald, someone entertaining, trustworthy, and often right" (Jung). These nine stories were printed in the magazines Super Science Stories and Astounding Science Fiction between 1940 and 1950 prior to their first appearance here in book form.
