The Complete Robot

Isaac Asimov’s Robot series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day. Could a robot ever show true creativity? Is it wise to trust self-driving cars? Will robotic body parts transform human beings into machines? Will organic technology allow robots to become human? The Complete Robot combines the stories in I, Robot and The Rest of the Robots with many more found only in this collection – including one of Asimov’s masterpieces, the Hugo and Nebula award-winning novella ‘The Bicentennial Man’. Featuring Dr. Susan Calvin, Donovan and Powell, and the detective Elijah Baley, hero of the Robot novels, this is the ultimate collection of short stories from a genius of the genre. Asimov's visionary approach to the genre of hard science fiction is evident in this collection, as he explores metaphysical questions of artificial intelligence and humanity. The adventure and action that permeate the stories make this a top pick for any fan of space opera. For fans of Robert Heinlein (Stranger in a Strange Land), Frank Herbert (Children Of Dune), Cixin Liu (Of Ants and Dinosaurs), Dan Simmons (The Terror), and James S. A. Corey (Nemesis Games).
