In the not-too-distant future, when robots are developed into near-human mechanical servants, there will be laws that control their behavior, according to Isaac Asimov, science fiction author. In his book I, Robot, he explains these laws that define the futuristic world he imagines in his writing. The first law of robotics is "a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." The second law is that these near-human mechanical servants "must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law." The third law allows the robot to protect its own existence, providing that the first two laws are not compromised.
Job was not a robot and the measure of his uprightness was not determined by an automatic computer chip, but by agonizing daily decisions made with a fallible will that sought to please God. In such a real world, not a fanciful one conjured up by the imagination, Job is considered "blameless and upright."
