About this listen
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.

Fantastic selection of stories to make you think
The stories are vibrant, entertaining and thought provoking. The narrator unfortunately is somewhat unexciting

Wow
This was incredible I’m going to continue with more of Isaac Asimov’s works. It stands up so well even in 2022.

Almost uninteligable narration.
Awful narrator...hard to understand his accent at the best of times and has no change in delivery when changing character. when three or four people are conversing in the book you have no idea of who is saying what. Such a wonderful book to read but this audio is the worst!
