Experience Asimov at his extraordinary best - in the brilliant companion volume to ROBOT DREAMS.

At the age of nineteen, Isaac Asimov wrote his first robot story, Robbie, which gave birth to not only a new concept in science fiction, but also paved the way to a new science - robotics.

Now, in ROBOT VISIONS, Asimov has collected 36 of his most important and entertaining robot short stories and essays.

From Robbie himself, to the tales of Susan Calvin, first robot psychologist, to the human and robot detectives Lije Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw - here are key moments in the fictional history of robot-human relations.
