I was disappointed with this one. I didn't like the lack of overarching narrative, I wasn't prepared for it to be a handful of short stories.
Asimov is a great writer, but hella sexist. It honestly ruined the book for me. Whenever women were NOT present, the scenes were decent and the writing was much better. As soon as a woman entered it would fall apart for me. Super distracting.
I've enjoyed Asimov's short stories & Prelude to Foundation, but if I had started with this one I don't think I would've read any more of his work.
I did love the first story with the little girl & Robbie though! Very sweet.
