(  )Audacity88 | Nov 16, 2008 |    This was a pretty short read -- in fact I read it on the bus into work this morning. That's mainly because there are only three short stories in this book which aren't covered in one of Asimov's other robot short story collections. The three stories were good, but I am not sure they were worth owning the entire book for. http://www.stillhq.com/book/Isaac_Asi... (  )mikal | Nov 15, 2008 | The counterpart to Robot Dreams is inferior as far as the fiction quality goes, but does have a whole lot of essays at the end by Asimov on the subject of robots, and the future in general. One interesting comment was that something as simple as worldwide computer communication could change the world, when he was writing about education. Quite a few of the essays are to do the the Laws of Robotics in particular, and robots in society. So, fairly interesting.

(  )bluetyson | Nov 19, 2007 | An interesting collection of short stories and essays. Some of the stories are repeats from collections like "I, Robot" and "The Bicentennial Man, and other stories", so be prepared to run into those. All the stories included are good reads! My personal favorites are "Lenny" and "The Bicentennial Man". (  )Redthing | Mar 25, 2007 | A great collection of enthrilling, mysterious and detective short stories.
