Tik Tok by John Sladek

asimov wrote a lot about robots, but his "laws of robotics" are really moral guidelines, and impossible to implement.

in fact Sladek wrote a satirical story about that, under the name of "Iclick Asimove", where several versions of a robot were told to obey the first law and they interpreted it in different ways, killing the researchers each time. eventually they were sold to the army.

it's in his collection called "The Steam-Driven Boy"

"Robots are ideal for authors... they're practically useless for any other purpose."
- Bruce Sterling


Bruce Sterling's work has one or two robots, but they are always mute, silent dumb things like elevators. he wisely avoids the AI problem.

the closest he ever got to that was in the story "Bicycle Repair Man", where a politician's answering machine / phone service started taking over for the politician in making comments on videos.

Got two for you OP:

The first isn't a book strictly about robots per se, but artificial intelligence as divine power. It's called The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, and while it doesn't contain the best prose, it explores some really interesting (and at times intensely disturbing) concepts.

The other is an absolute must: The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem. It's a short story collection, but is fucking Zeus-tier. Definitely check it out.

Seriously though, read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I should really read it again, it's fantastic.
