Isaac Asimov`s Three Rules For Robots

[uNz[i]]

The reason for the robotic laws is purely down to paranoia.
The bots were progressively becoming stronger, faster, smarter and more versatile with each new model.

Mistrusting humans were scared they would eventually be wiped out by the new, more superior 'species', so the 3 laws were introduced as a safeguard.

Well there's been plenty of SF written about THAT scenario, so I think Asimov's laws have some validity...

I think the Matrix Brothers forgot to read up on the RULES

Is it me, or do I read 4 Laws?

The zero law was kinda' secret and a later addition

But supposed to supersede the other three, whch are numbered in inverted proportion to their importance, ie higher numbers means lesser priority.
