From the publisher
Isaac Asimov's famous Three Laws, which provide far-future humanity with omni-compliant robots, ultimateled to a vision of hell - human existance with all challange and conflict removed. Thus Asimov proposed the New Law robots to Roger MacBride Allen, laws which endow humanity with helping hands, but not slaves.

These are three books by Roger MacBride Allen based on Isaac Asimov's 'Elijah Bayley' Universe

These books are a mixture of Dr Asimov's Lije Bayley Detective stories and a philosophical examination of a society made up of Three Law robots.
