About this listen

In a career spanning nearly 50 years, Isaac Asimov - science writer, historian, and futurist - accurately predicted how technological breakthroughs would be developed and utilized, years before they became reality. His foresight envisioned calculators, computerized cars, and advances in the field of robotics as chronicled in such popular books as I, Robot; Robots and Empire; and The Robots of Dawn.

Robot Dreams spans the body of his fiction from the 1940s to the mid ’80s, featuring all of the classic Asimovian themes - from the scientific puzzle and the extraterrestrial thriller to the psychological discourse. In addition to the title story (a Locus poll winner and Hugo and Nebula Award finalist), this collection features several of Asimov’s robot tales. A robopsychologist must outwit a machine determined to stay hidden in "Little Lost Robot"; a woman’s talent for "Light Verse" overshadows her true accomplishments with her robot servants; "The Last Question" presented to computer after computer over a hundred billion years may remain forever unanswered … and 17 more future visions from the grand master of science fiction.

I read this book years ago and wanted to revisit the stories. They're as good as I remember them.

Excellent

Every story thought provoking. Serious points made but with Isaacs usual sense of humour and insight into human behaviour. Also some education in there as well but done in such an entertaining way you don't realise your being educated!

Isaac your sorely missed

Super stories-not a dull moment

The fact is that I have devoured Asimov’s fiction for 50 years. This audiobook is perfectly pitched with a voice that I had always imagined was in the author’s mind. Clever stories that were in the time that was written; smoking, misogyny, etc… Still worth a read with lessons to be learned today.

Top quality fiction and narration. Also includes The last Question, one of the best short stories ever written.

Very imaginative and creative short stories. Each one with the potential to be its own movie. Really enjoyed it! Narrator wasn't too bad either.
