The Rest Of The Robots (original 1964; edition 1997)

I liked this one better than I, Robot, actually. I thought it was a smooth read. Even though it's a collection of short stories I thought the narrative flowed well from one story to the next. Asimov's insights were interesting as well. ( )

These are really the leftover stories, not as good as those in I, Robot. ( )

This is an Asimov short story collection about robots, where the stories are entirely contained in The Complete Robot, although in a different order. These stories are similar in vein to those in I, Robot, although it is odd that not all of the hyperspace development stories are present (perhaps some weren't written yet?). This is a good book, I liked it.

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.

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. ( )
