The original "I, Robot" had a Frankenstein complex

Eando Binder's Adam Link scifi series predates Isaac Asimov's more famous robots, posing issues in trust, control, and intellectual property. In 1939, Eando Binder began a short story cycle about a robot named Adam Link. The first story in Binder's series was titled "I, Robot." That clever phrase would be recycled by Isaac Asimov's publisher (against Asimov's wishes) for his famous short story cycle that started in 1940 about the Three Laws of Robotics. But the Binder series had another influence on Asimov: the stories explicitly related Adam's poor treatment to how humans reacted to the Creature in Frankenstein.
