Paperback Edition: 1/2013
The follow up to I, Robot: To Protect, inspired by Isaac Asimov's legendary science fiction collection, I, Robot. These books have been officially authorised by the Asimov estate. The year is 2036. Robotic technology has evolved into the realm of self-aware, sentient mechanical entities. But
even as humanity contends with the consequences of its most brilliant creation, there are those who have their own designs for the robots: enslavement...or annihilation. Susan Calvin is about to enter her second year as a psych resident at the Manhattan Hasbro teaching hospital when a violent crime strikes very close to home. When she was young, Susan lost her mother in a terrible car wreck that also badly injured her father. She now believes the accident was orchestrated by government officials who wanted her parents dead. Susan has always known there was a faction of the US government that wanted to hijack her father's work for military use. Now it seems that faction is back. As she struggles to overcome her pain and confusion, as well as deal with her studies, Susan finds herself hunted by violent anti-tech vigilantes who would revert mankind to the dark ages - and at the same time she's being watched very closely by extremists who want high-tech genocide. Somehow she must find a way to stop them both.
