While a few were vaguely familiar most were either new to me or read so long ago that I had no memory of them. A good collection of classic SF. The reading of this book was inspired by watching the movie 'I, Robot'. hailelib | Jul 1, 2009 |   science fiction (  )HendrikSteyaert | Jan 28, 2009 |  This is another of Asimov's robot short story collections, and many of the stories appear in earlier works. In fact, I would recommend getting I, Robot and this book, and avoiding The Rest of the Robots if you're not interested in owning a complete collection of books, but do want to have all of the stories. I say you should get a copy of I, Robot mainly because it has linking matter between the stories that this book lacks. The Complete Robot is as good as Asimov's other short story books I have read, which means I thought it was fantastic. http://www.stillhq.com/book/Isaac_Asi... ( )mikal | Nov 15, 2008 | A collection of Asimov's robot stories, including Robbie and Bicentennial Man, the story that was (losely) the inspiration for the movie of the same name. Several of the stories were also the background for the I, Robot movie. An excellent collection of robot stories. ( )Karlstar | Sep 10, 2008 | The Master at Work: Isaac Asimov is the master of the short story, revealing a whole new world in a paragraph. His robot stories are brilliant feats of imagination, and his Laws of Robotics have had a profound influence on the real world of Artificial Intelligence research. Do read these - they are wonderful. euang | Sep 1, 2008 | 0.045 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0586057242, Mass Market Paperback)THE COMPLETE ROBOT is the definitive anthology of Asimov's stunning visions of a robotic future...In these stories, Isaac Asimov creates the Three Laws of Robotics and ushers in the Robot Age: when Earth is ruled by master-machines and when robots are more human than mankind. As well as TN-3 (Tony), AL-76 and other robots, the stories feature the staff of U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men Inc., and in particular the chief robot-psychologist, the steely Dr Susan Calvin who is in many ways more robot-like than her subjects. THE COMPLETE ROBOT is the ultimate collection of timeless, amazing and amusing robot stories from the greatest science fiction writer of all time, offering golden insights into robot thought processes. Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics were programmed into real computers thirty years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - with surprising results. Readers of today still have many surprises in store... THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS: 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
