Books like I, robot by Mickey Zucker Reichert
The year 2035 sees robotic technology reaching self‑awareness, sparking debate about humanity’s intertwined future. Dr. Susan Calvin, newly resident in psychiatry at Manhattan Hasbro teaching hospital, participates in a cutting‑edge project that injects nanobots into patients’ spinal fluid. These microscopic devices trace neural pathways and transmit data, offering unprecedented insight into the human mind. As the project progresses, Calvin notices patients beginning to display extreme and violent behavior. Her attempts to warn her superiors are ignored, as those behind the research seek to conceal controversies and advance a hidden agenda. The novel explores the ethical implications of such technological progress and the perilous consequences when innovation is wielded without restraint.
