About this listen

From the writer whose name is synonymous with the science of robotics comes five decades of robot visions - 36 landmark stories and essays, plus three rare tales - gathered together in one volume.

Meet all of Asimov's most famous creations: Robbie, the very first robot that his imagination brought to life; Susan Calvin, the original robot physchologist; Stephen Byerley, the humanoid robot; and the famous human-robot detective team of Lije Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw, who appeared in such best-selling novels as The Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire. Let the master himself guide you through the key moments in the fictional history of robot-human relations - from the most primitive computers and mobile machines to the first robot to become a man.

Wordy in depth exploration of all things Robot by the genius himself who took us into that realm so breathtakingly.

Robot Dreams was better. Still, this was good as well. There is some small overlap between the two.

beautifully imagined and written, with such prescience.
Sally and Bicentennial Man stand out, but every short story is perfect.

Apologies for the sexist title, but it sounds more pithy than 'human'.
A journey looking at the psychology of the Robot, constrained by the 3 laws of robotics. This IS a book that I will enjoy again. But in a revised order.
The performance is excellent and I'd like to believe just how the author would have wanted the robot to sound.
