“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.”

John Eduard Brenches wrote this review Friday, July 10 2009. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“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.”
