  “The title is self explanatory, except for the fact that Asimov constructs his own universe where humanity has made robots to be always good and obedient to humans, thus nullifying the Frankenstein-like fear of robots and the reluctance of general public to think of robots as a good thing on the whole.
  
  Until Asimov's universe of benevolent robots that made more sense people had a fear of robots as entities that could compete with and easily conquer humanity and enslave or annihilate them - a fear that is more often than not rooted in the history of those that do practice such actions or had before. But Asimov's robots made far mroe sense, and it was evident that those were the lines along which robots would be made on the whole.”

  “An amazing collection of shorts from an author way before the trend, some of these are amazing not only as tales but markers for the future and humanity itself.”

  “This book has short stories with the central theme revolving around a robot. The stories are intelligently written with absorbing plots and a logical progression. Will Smith starring movie "I Robot " had it's plot loosely based on several on the stories.”
