1. The story I chose is "The Running of the Robots" by Oliver Buckram, found here: http://www.flashfictiononline.com/f20120701-running-robots-oliver-buckram.html This story centers around a fictional incident that occurred with US military robots roughly 16 years before the start of the story. Due to human error, the robots were sent a faulty command which caused them to attempt to move west forever. The robots are powered by some kind of reactor that can run for decades, they do not respond to commands, and seem to be hardy enough to survive almost any conditions (it is mentioned that during part of their trek they walk across the ocean floor, and that china attempted to destroy the robots with nuclear weapons but was unable to).

Throughout “Love and Sex with Robots,” author David Levy explores the topic of human intimacy, and how it has developed throughout history. While his book begins with discussing human-to-human relationships and intimacy, he explores modern technological intervention like dating websites and electronic sex toys. However, like the title suggests, Levy uses the the majority of his book to convince the reader that the use of sex robots are an inevitable evolution of robotic intimacy, and will be especially useful for minority sectors of the population like misfits and the sexually inadequate (291).

Isaac Asimov thrills the reader with his story-telling ability in "I, Robot".  Of course, many of Asimov's ideas provide a ploy to add suspense to the story.  However, when the plot completely disagree with the laws which he himself has written, the story becomes confusing.  On the surface, it appears that his stories make legitimate and logical sense, as well as entertaining the audience in a magnificent way.  However, any deeper analysis of the story will prove that there are several significant flaws in the work.  This can best be shown in one of Asimov's earlier stories, "Reason."  In this story, the first and second of the three laws of robotics are broken.  It is never explained how it would be
