Heh, nerd alert. The cultural legend is that Isaac Asimov wrote a novel called I, ROBOT. But the title was originally applied to a short story by Eando Binder (yup, never heard of him either). Isaac Asimov's editor later appropriated the title and applied it to a collection of short stories by Asimov (over IA's objections).
"I, Robot" remains one of the most evocative titles ever created, which it is why it comes up again and again in different variations throughout pop culture.
