Robot Dreams by Isaac Asimov

4.0

---

I think that this was a good introduction to Asimov. It presented his themes and ideas as far as I know, between multivac and the positronic brains, that I'll have a leg up when I start another of his books. I have to say that I felt misled by the title, since I wanted me some robot stories and there were only really four robot/AI stories in the lot. Robot Dreams was probably my favorite of the stories, but others were good too. Personally, I could have cared less about the Martian Way and don't really get why people like it so much.

I really enjoyed Asimov's scientific yet practical approach to his subjects. He didn't lose me in the science of it as much as some sci fi authors, and kept the element of human unpredictability and emotion in his stories.

I will definitely enjoy his AI themed books.
