Description

In this essay, I critique Isaac Asimov's Robot and Empire future histories and stories. By using Leonard Read's famous economic essay, "I, Pencil," I describe the self-organizing character of large, extended orders of human beings, so large and complex that no Artificial Intelligence, no matter how powerful, and no Plan, no matter the genius of its instantiator, could possibly mastermind it.
