Robot Dreams

By: Isaac Asimov

Narrated by: George Guidall

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.

The Ugly Little Boy is the best!

A mix bag but they’re all worth a listen as is usual for any Asimov collection. The inclusion of The Ugly Little Boy makes this collection 5 stars by itself. The narration is superb.

Engaging

Very enjoyable and current! Read Asimov in younger years and still current and interesting. I am impressed of how it applies to modern times

Narrative and story lines

Everything. Brilliantly composed and eloquently delivered by george guidall your very perfect and very
best narrator

love it

Isaac Asimov remains among my favorite if not my most favorite science fiction authors. Unfortunately I zoom off was of a generation of Science Fiction writers who for the most part gave into the traditional stereotypes and conventions of race and gender. I'll be it still he was a master for science fiction writer as will be conveyed through this book. It is also clear that I truly loved mystery and detective novels. But R. Danielle novels also convey that. Read it you enjoy it.

Asimov creativity is one of a kind

I love Sci-Fi.
I read and heard hundreds of Sci-Fi books and many hundreds of short sci-fi stories.
This collection blew my mind.
thank you Isaac.
the narration was hard to listen, but not horrible.
