Review of 'The Complete Robot' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Bumping this up half a star, the stories are interconnected better than I remember, and the characters are well described. I also pondered how Bicentennial Man and the recent I, Robot movie are connected to these stories. Still recommended!

I must confess I never read this as a kid, though I read plenty of Asimov and other science fiction at the time. This book is essentially a collection of short stories, and the beginning of the Robot universe. These stories really make you think; the psychology of how robots treat humans often masks the real point of how humans treat humans. I especially enjoyed the concluding story, and expect I will read others in this universe in the future.
