A collection of 20 classic short stories by Isaac Asimov, author of the Foundation series, featuring the definitive and only in-print version of “Nightfall”

From one of history’s most influential writers of science fiction comes this collection of twenty short works of fiction, arranged in order of publication from 1941 to 1967. Compiled by Asimov himself, who prefaced each story with an introduction, it begins with “Nightfall”, the tale of a world with eternal sun that is suddenly plunged into total darkness and utter madness. Published when the author was only twenty-one, “Nightfall” was arguably Asimov’s breakout work, making such an impression that, almost thirty years later, the Science Fiction Writers of America voted it the best science-fiction short story ever written.

The other stories in the collection span far and wide: Machines that learn to think for themselves - and direct their thoughts to overturning the establishment. The discovery that Earthlings are being destroyed by a mysterious kind of psychological virus. A day when walking outdoors becomes a sign of psychosis. And many more. Twenty stories: each riveting, each a classic.

This is the first bit of Asimov I've read, and I absolutely loved it! I always really like short stories and I'm glad I started with these ones. It's interesting that nightfall is rated to be one of the best ones supposedly because I loved the other one's more. Please stick through the 1st few. These stories are amazing!

These stories remind me of the old black and white Sci-Fy movies of the 50’s. They also appear to have been an inspiration for some of the more modern Sci-Fy stories I.e. The 3 Body Problem. Asimov is truly one of the greats in this genre.

Great collection of Asimov stories. There are some gold nuggets in there. The man could turn any subject, from astronomy to going to school into awesome sci-fi.

After an avid reader of Asimov’s Foundations and Robots sagas and side-short-stories, i was happily surprised with this stories, their intro by Asimov himself was quite valuable.

A must read… or listen, whatever you prefer

Happily surprised
