Reviews

[Drew · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like robots, short stories, and speculative fiction (yes to all three for me!), then you’ll love this little gem. The fact that it was published over 30 years ago is irrelevant. Great collection!

[Gail · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some good stories, but most were rather dry. all related to a fear that AI would gain sentience and desire autonomy from human control.m; or even worse , that AI would replace us. Heavily focused on the 3 laws of robotics.
