About this title

Synopsis

Spanning Asimov's fifty-year career, this collection of eighteen stories and essays offers a visionary study of humankind's future relationship with robots, including both classic and original pieces, all based on Asimov's three laws of robotics

Reviews

NAL launches its new SF imprint, ROC, with a collection of 18 of Asimov's ( Foundation ) robot stories. The earliest tales here, written from 1940 to 1960, remain among the most-loved in the field, the best being "Little Lost Robot," about a robot who obeys an order to "get lost." "The Bicentennial Man" (1976) about one robot's desires and efforts to be first free, then equal, is the quintessential robot-as-man's-mirror story. The book concludes with brief essays offering companionable commentary on the history of robots in fiction, the Frankenstein complex, the origin of Asimov's famous Three Laws and the author's own surprise at the emergence of robots during his lifetime.

Store Description

I can not honestly say we specialize in a certain author, or certain subject matter. I will say we have a lot of science fiction, and a lot of mysteries, a lot of them from certain authors. Now I need to sell some books to make room for the ones I would like to move in. I estimate that in about another fifty years or so the books on our shelves will be such that I will be unable to bear to sell them.
