Es un libro perfecto para ir leyendo poco a poco, entre libro y libro.
Hay cuentos realmente fascinantes, y otros que te dejan un poco indiferente.
Este es el volumen uno, el segundo ya está en la estantería pidiendo su turno.

The stories are definitely out-dated. In fact, if I were the easily offended type, I would throw this book out. No, I lie. I would never do that to a book, especially a library book. I know this was supposed to be science fiction but in some places it was more of a comedy. It was jarring reading the descriptions of computers or the thoughts of the characters in regards to some social situation. I suppose it wasn't all bad. It simply reflects the past a bit too closely even though the setting is supposed to be the future.

Obviously Asimov is a household name but damn these stories are genuinely amazing. I loved them all.

Asimov is one of the only authors I know of where every short story is fascinating, creative, and unique. It's really unfortunate that this anthology set was never completed. I figured out if i read Fifty Years of Isaac Asimov, Early Asimov, the Complete Robot, Edge of Tomorrow, Winds of Change, Azazel, Gold, and Magic, i'll get all but 25 of the scifi stories that have been published in anthologies. (There are 15 more that were never anthologized)
