Another anthology of robot-themed short stories. This grouping consists of feminine robots, space adventures, a robot becoming a man, and even time travel. This anthology focuses more on science fiction as a whole, rather than one-hundred percent being focused on robots. Asimov makes sure to include references to his Three Laws of Robotics in almost, if not all of his short stories in this book. He also includes commentary for each story, explaining the history and why he wrote each piece.

I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov - 256 pages
A collection of robot-themed short stories as told by robopsychologist, Dr. Susan Calvin to an interviewer. These short stories range from robots gone amok, to mind-reading robots, to robots who are secretly running the world. Every story deals with Asimov's famed Three Laws of Robotics: a robot may not injure a human, or through inaction, allow a human to come to harm; a robot shall obey any instruction given to it by a human; and, a robot shall avoid any situations that could bring harm to itself.
