This collection offers 18 stories about robots as well as brief essays in which Asimov comments on robots in fiction, the Frankenstein complex, his famous Three Laws and the development of actual robots. ``The earliest tales here, written from 1940 to 1960, remain among the most-loved in the field,'' PW said.

March 22, 2007: ...you can't go wrong here. I fell in love with this book long ago & my copy is barely hanging on by its last legs. A great collection of stories, many of which can be read in just a few minutes but will remain in your mind long after. If you're into sci-fi, this is a must-read.
