Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
At the age of nineteen, Asimov wrote his first robot story, 'Robbie', which gave birth not only to a new concept in science fiction, but also paved the way to a new science – robotics.
Now, in Robot Visions, the brilliant companion volume to Robot Dreams, Asimov has collected thirty-six of his most entertaining robot stories and essays.
From Robbie himself to the tales of Susan Calvin, first robot psychologist, to the human and robot detectives Lije Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw – here are key moments in the fictional history of robot-human relations. |
