About this product

Product Information

From Isaac Asimov--the bestselling author of I, Robot and Foundation --comes a collection of 20 of his best science fiction stories. "His name is synonymous with all that is best in science fiction."-- The New York Times In a career spanning nearly fifty years, Isaac Asimov--science writer, historian, and futurist--accurately predicted how technological breakthroughs would be developed and utilized, years before they became reality. His foresight envisioned calculators, computerized cars, and advances in the field of robotics. Robot Dreams spans the body of his fiction from the 1940s to the mid-1980s, featuring all of the classic Asimovian themes--from the scientific puzzle and the extraterrestrial thriller to the psychological discourse--presented by the author in an introductory essay. In addition to the title story (a Locus poll winner, and Hugo and Nebula Award finalist), this collection features several of Asimov's robot tales. A robopsychologist must outwit a machine determined to stay hidden in "Little Robot Lost;" a woman's talent for "Light Verse" overshadows her true accomplishments with her robot servants; and "The Last Question" presented to computer after computer over a hundred billion years may remain forever unanswered.

Praise for Robot Dreams "Classic science fiction...includes many of Asimov's best."-- Chronicle "The collection gathers 20 of Asimov's greatest (with Asimov, the word 'great' is no mere hyperbole), older short stories, plus one new tale written especially for this book, and an important essay which opens the book."-- Starlog

  • Asimov stories at their best

    Hard to go wrong with Isaac Asimov, who was a long time Grand Master of science fiction. This book is an excellent collection of Asimov short works, spanning from the 1940's to the 1980's. The book's title is taken from the short story Robot Dreams, a Locus poll winner and a finalist for the Hugo and Nebula awards. In my paperback edition, I did not see a subtitle or a story "Remembering Tomorrow". The WorldCat web site does not show this term associated with Asimov's book Robot Dreams. Perhaps another reviewer will know where "Remembering Tomorrow" comes from. The 1990 Ace mass market paperback edition has a 9-page introductory essay by Asimov, followed by 384 pages of the stories. The list of stories in this book: Little lost robot -- Robot dreams -- Breeds there a man? -- Hostess ...
