Isaac Asimov
From the writer whose name is synonymous with the science of robotics comes five decades of robot visions - 36 landmark stories and essays, plus three rare tales - gathered together in one volume.
Meet all of Asimov's most famous creations: Robbie, the very first robot that his imagination brought to life; Susan Calvin, the original robot physchologist; Stephen Byerley, the humanoid robot; and the famous human-robot detective team of Lije Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw, who appeared in such best-selling novels as The Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire. Let the master himself guide you through the key moments in the fictional history of robot-human relations - from the most primitive computers and mobile machines to the first robot to become a man.

This is a wonderful book to read that links Asimov’ Robot and Foundation universes.
Fascinating reviewing Asimov’s thought processes.

However, over 50 years since he wrote these groundbreaking works, his prescience can be seen to have its limits. It is certainly not fair to be amused by his description of a strip of paper with holes in it as a way to program a positronic brain. But, it seems, it's the little things that make a story seem antiquated. On the other hand, who knows how quaint the books of William Gibson will seem in another 30 years?
Dated references aside, it remains timeless that Asimov could also spin some pretty good stories!
Seminal works, but dated
