I feel like I'm not really an Asimov person.

Another strong work if storytelling by Isaac Asimov. Although I’m very late to picking up his science fiction it’s been a very rewarding ride so far.

This was so entertaining! It’s basically short stories that are all connected, especially as you continue through them. I absolutely loved learning about all the different types of robots that were created, the relationships the robots could build, and the issues that arose from new and improved robots. It brings in so many questions about humanity, technology, and always trying to make advances. Each story shows us different robots, their issues, and how humans play a part in it. This was a great read, especially if you need some sci-fi and robots in your day.

Great collection of short robot stories from Asimov. Covers a large timeline in Asimov's universe and introduces many of the great characters which appear in his other books.

Asimov is an amazing writer to capture the complexities of human and artificial life and all the political and philosophical details in dealing with both of them! Bravo!
