Synopsis

“This book contains Asimov’s topics and essences in all its stories. It contains Isaac Asimov ́s themes: robots, aliens and mysteries always solved by a logical and scientific way. If you like these themes, you will love this book. Asimov makes you feel that you really are the character that needs to deal with a struggle (usually caused by a robot or an alien), and makes you think logically about this problem to solve it by the best way, taking care about every detail. Fantastic! Simply fantastic!” —a reviewer Robot Dreams collects 21 of Isaac Asimov's short stories spanning the body of his fiction from the 1940s to the 1980s——exploring not only the future of technology, but the future of humanity's maturity and growth. Robot Dreams spans the body of Asimov's fiction from the 1940s to the mid-80s, and features classic Asimovian themes, from the scientific puzzle to the extraterrestrial thriller, all introduced in an exclusive essay written especially for this collection. Isaac Asimov authored over 400 books in a career that lasted nearly 50 years. As a leading scientific writer, historian, and futurist, he covered a variety of subjects ranging from mathematics to humor, and won numerous awards for his work.
