I'm not sure if the language of the time (first published in 1942) included the use of the phrase "infinite loop" as we understand it in regards to programming today, but I love how easily and obviously the concept was described without the phrase. I also love the introduction of the three laws of robotics. I've known the laws for most of my life, I suppose, but I've never read their original introduction into our world until I read this story. :-D

Short, smart, funny, foreboding.
