Well, all I can say is that if I were to edit an anthology about robots—it wouldn’t be this one.

To be sure, there are some good stories here. It contains "Sally", for example, which is a good story, but hardly the one single robot story of Asimov’s entire corpus I'd pick as the best or most representative. ("Evidence", maybe, or "Satisfaction Guaranteed". Not "Sally".) And we’ve got Clifford D. Simak’s "How-2" and Harry Bates' "Farewell to the Master", which is a fitting climax to the book.

But where is Jack Williamson’s "With Folded Hands"? Hm? The best robot story, perhaps, ever written. Where is it? "I, Robot" by Eando Binder? Lester del Rey’s "Helen O'Loy"? And while most of the hitherto unmentioned stories are good enough— a lot of them aren’t, such as Philip K. Dick’s unfortunate "Second Variety", which was sufficiently obvious that even I got the ending halfway through.

No, one could have done so much better with this theme. This book is really a major disappointment.
