Just leave the Three Laws out of their programming!
I've just started on The Robots of Dawn BTW, where Elijah Baley goes to
Aurora and with the help of Daneel Olivaw, solves the case of a robot being
'murdered' by being deliberately placed in a state of permanent mental
freeze-out or roblock, and the only person who is capable of achieving this
is the robot's owner, Dr. Fastolf, who himself agrees that he's the only one
who could have done it, but at the same time swears that he did not!
Should have carried on with the Foundation and Empire books, but I can't
bloody find Foundation and Earth! It'll turn up. Far better than the TV,
reading good sci-fi like that with your own imagination painting the
pictures instead of somebody else's. I Seldon read anything else these days.
