A review by julcoh
Norby, the Mixed-Up Robot by Janet Asimov, Isaac Asimov
4.0
Here, in a series of short stories, Asimov lays out the history of his world's robots, from the first non-speaking model through to the formation of a global society and humanity's expansion to the stars.
I first read it when I was seven, and it has not lost the effect it had on a young, curious technologist-to-be. Like most of Asimovs stories, these are accessible and easily readable, with a scope of world-building imagination not suggested by their length. He's a grandmaster of science fiction for a reason.
