(  )jpsnow | Apr 13, 2008 | A collection of less well known Robot stories, even the satirical Galley Slave. Asimov starts of talking about the Shelleys, of all things, to start with in his intro, to lead into talking about Capek and R.U.R. and hence to his robots. Another solid collection of stories, here.

( )bluetyson | Nov 22, 2007 | More robot stories in the vein of 'I, Robot'. Written mostly in the 50s, they still retain vitality and amuse and impress with their ingenuity. I feel this collection is better than its predecessor and a must read for fans of Asimov's short stories. ( )iftyzaidi | Oct 4, 2007 | A small collection of short stories, none that particularly stood out to me. (  )Redthing | Mar 25, 2007 | 0.035 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0586025944, Mass Market Paperback)ROBOT TONY is the first robot designed to perform domestic duties by the U S Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation. Is it Tony's fault that the lady of the house where he's field-tested falls in love with him?ROBOT AL was intended for shipment to a mining outfit on the moon. Instead, he's loose in the mountains of Virginia...building from scraps of junk his very own, very dangerous disintegrator. Goodbye, Virginia? ROBOT LENNY answers workaday questions in babytalk. So why is Dr Susan Calvin, the world's top robopsychologist, fascinated by this messed-up specimen of an industrial Robot? THE REST OF THE ROBOTS is the second timeless, amazing and amusing volume of Isaac Asimov's robot stories, 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 platinumiridium 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.
