This is an Asimov short story collection about robots, where the stories are entirely contained in The Complete Robot, although in a different order. These stories are similar in vein to those in I, Robot, although it is odd that not all of the hyperspace development stories are present (perhaps some weren't written yet?).Fine compilation of Isaac Asimov's Robot stories 23 Aug 2009By Steven A. Peterson -Isaac Asimov created a number of great series--the Foundation series is one. Another was the Robot series. And, later in life, he actually wed the two.This volume includes two of his robot novels (The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun) as well as a series of his short stories (some Susan Calvin pieces, some on the Law of Robotics, and a couple on the origins of robots).The two novels are classics and it is nice to see them in this volume. One can get a sense of the development of Asimov's fictional history of robots here, from early on, to the development of the famed laws of robotics (can readers of this recall them all?), to the work of Susan Calvin, to the culminating novels. In that sense, this volume provides an arc of Asimov's works, providing context for the novels.Asimov begins the book with his view on robots (Page xiii): ". . .I began, in 1940, to write robot stories of my own--but robot stories of a new variety. Never, never, was one of my robots to turn stupidly on his creator for no purpose but to demonstrate, for one more weary time, the crime and punishment of Faust."A nice volume, even long after its publication. It reminds us of Asimov's skills. He still couldn't create real human characters when he wrote these pieces, but his ideas were provocative and still resonate. Taschenbuch.
