  * Zeroth Law: A robot must never harm humanity or, by inaction allow humanity to come to harm.

Every other law gets an unless this interferes with the zeroth law. suffix.

I encourage anyone to read the robots series, specifically( in that order ): The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun and The Robots of Dawn, where the three laws are used in the story, and even the zeroth law is implied in the third book.

And don't assume that since you watched the "I, Robot" movie you don't need to read the series.

The movie was really more of a deconstruction than an adaptation of the books
