Reason

In the story Reason, the author Issac Asimov makes us think about some important questions. Questions such as: What will it be like when human jobs are replaced by robots? More importantly, what if those robots began to see themselves as superior or more valuable than the humans? What if they start to believe they are on a mission from a higher power?  In the end, the characters Donovan and Powell decide that it doesn't necessarily matter what Cutie believes as long as the robot is doing what he is supposed to do. Underneath all of Cutie's reasoning and thoughts on his purpose of being, he still is ultimately obeying the Three Laws of Robotics whether he realizes it or not. He keeps the station functioning perfectly and so keeps the humans and Earth safe.  It does make you wonder how the next caretakers of the station will deal with Cutie's "Cult of the Master" though. I would have maybe given them a little more of a heads-up.
