A fun 1976 collection of 12 short stories by the unique Asimov, each with its own creative twists. It was a bonus to find the title story, which was adapted to become a good-enough movie starring Robin Williams (1999); I didn't know Asimov had written that.
An easy and enjoyable read, good for entertainment for an evening or two, a few stimulating "aha's," and an occasional "ooo... very nice!"

This classic collection includes the title story, acclaimed as Asimov's single finest Robot tale, and now made into a Hollywood movie starring Robin Williams. Each of the eleven stories here sparkle with characteristic Asimov inventiveness and imagination
