    I loved it, especially the story in which the robots on a spaceship get religion and human passengers suffer because of it -- they have to come up with a way to convince the robots that their religion is bullshit, but the robots are stubborn. I stole this book from school, by which I mean I unofficially borrowed it and forgot to return it because I'm a lazy asshole. (That's also how I got Clarke's 2061.) I would say it's a good starting point if you like robots in your science fiction, but have yet to read Asimov.

    This book combines short stories which give a great overview and subsequent self-criticism of Asimov's robotic ideas and his essays defining and defending his own logic. It is a laudable and compelling read.
    The short stories are always good for people with short attention spans.

    I recommend this book to any science fiction enthusiast. It really lays the foundation of what our future might hold with robotics and even genetic engineering to some extent. Asimov does a great job with these stories.
