Description
Returning guest Branden Ushio joins Joe to talk about the Isaac Asimov short story “Runaround.” This short story is the first instance of Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics being used in any of his stories. These Laws have become a key foundation for the sci-fi genre, and Asimov points out the problems with these laws in this first instance of having them appear in a story.
