Robots

by Jack Dann (Editor), Gardner Dozois (Editor), Benjamin Rosenbaum (Contributor)

Here, some of the most advanced carbon-based minds in science fiction offer their own unique perspectives on the complex and conflicted future relationships between mankind and his most brilliant creations--some funny, some sad, some bizarre, some terrifying, and all beyond anything ever imagined.

Some of these stories are ok, but none of them gave me any chills. I dont think I will remember any of them in a week from now.

Rating 2.5 stars
