Who wrote the 1942 short story Runaround that lists three laws one of which is stated below? 'A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm'
"Three Laws of Robotics The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story ""Runaround"" (included in the 1950 collection ""I, Robot""), although they had been foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws, quoted as being from the ""Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D."", are: These form an organizing principle and unifying theme for Asimov's robotic-based fiction, appearing in his ""Robot"" series, the stories linked to it, and his"

The first case was a short-short story entitled ""First Law"" and is often considered an insignificant ""tall tale"" or even apocryphal.

Where the laws are quoted verbatim, such as in the ""Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"" episode ""Shgoratchx!"", it is not uncommon for Asimov to be mentioned in the same dialogue as can also be seen in the Aaron Stone pilot where an android states that it functions under Asimov's"

The character Dr. Gerrigel uses the term ""Asenion"" to describe robots programmed with the Three Laws.

References to the Three Laws have appeared in popular music (""Robot"" from Hawkwind's 1979 album ""PXR5""), cinema (""Repo Man"", ""Aliens"", """"), cartoon series (""The Simpsons""), tabletop roleplaying games (Paranoia) and webcomics (""Piled Higher and Deeper"" and ""Freefall"").
