About this listen
In a career spanning nearly 50 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 as chronicled in such popular books as I, Robot; Robots and Empire; and The Robots of Dawn.
Robot Dreams spans the body of his fiction from the 1940s to the mid ’80s, featuring all of the classic Asimovian themes - from the scientific puzzle and the extraterrestrial thriller to the psychological discourse. 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 Lost Robot"; a woman’s talent for "Light Verse" overshadows her true accomplishments with her robot servants; "The Last Question" presented to computer after computer over a hundred billion years may remain forever unanswered … and 17 more future visions from the grand master of science fiction.

A magnificent example of a sci-fi genius in this collection of stories. Differing tales with a central theme of ‘what if?’
Scifi delight!

It's prompted me to pick up his novels when I've been out and about and book stores and I'm a convert. I'd likely pick up a physical copy of this too.
My only concerns with this edition was that the narration had taken a little while before I got used to it. But then I soon felt it fit the stories.
The frustrating thing was that the individual short stories/chapters aren't listed. I never knew whether Chapter 4 would be a continuation of what I was listening to or the beginning of the next story.

Exllent job from George Guildall, thankyou for bringing the stories to life. My only qualms about the book was it didn't include more of Isaac Asimovs robot stories, but that would have been down to the great man himself I guess.
A blast from the past.
