Despite the title, the book is actually not primarily a robot book. Sure, there are robot stories (and the titular one is really good albeit short), but this is really more a collection of Asimov's science fiction. As I was reading it, I'd start a story and think for a few pages that I wasn't going to be enjoying it. But inevitably, I'd finish it and have a smile on my face, just impressed by the skillful and impactful way Asimov created the story. The Martian Way and the Ugly Boy both are ones that I'll keep in mind for a long time I think.
