Stories not involving the Three Laws of Robotics Stories that are about Asimov's
positronic robots that do not obey the
Three Laws of Robotics are: • "Let's Get Together" robots are used as parts of a bomb that will explode when they get together. • In "Someday" there are non-positronic computers which tell stories and do not obey the Three Laws. • In "Sally" there are positronic brain cars who can damage men or disobey without problems. No other kinds of robots are seen, and there is no mention of the Three Laws. • In ". . . That Thou Art Mindful of Him" robots are created with a very flexible Three Laws management, and these create little, simplified robots with no laws that actually act against the Three Laws of Robotics.
