Soy por completo fan de Isaac Asimov.

Constantemente me pregunto "Que había en la cabeza de este hombre" porque tienen unas ideas que... Uffff.

Muchos de estos cuentos tienen premisas muy buenas que podrían extenderse a novelas, pero como cuentos son perfectos. Además la escritura de Asimov siempre ha sido muy sencilla, fácil de entender y con un ritmo rápido.



Como notal al margen aclararé que no todos los cuentos son de robots, el título del libro hace referencia a un cuento muy específico pero a parte de ese las historias son muy variasdas

I have read a lot of books--over 100 in 2012 alone--and Isaac Asimov has written a lot of books--over 400. In fact, sitting on my almost bare bookshelf (don't ask), are a half a dozen of these novels. Still, before Robot Dreams, I had never read a single word written by the sci-fi legend.

Robot Dreams is 364 page book of short stories; some good, some great, but none of which left me confused, bored, or angry; feelings I often encounter while reading short stories and/or books over 350 pages long. Many of the stories were connected and Asimov definitely has a distinct style, but there still wasn't anything repetitive in this book.

Soon enough I'll read another of his books. And then another and another.

Not usually a one for short stories, but Asimov's brain is fascinating.

Es un excelente libro aunque ya muchos de los cuentos están en Yo, Robot; la verdad lamento mucho no haberlo terminado antes.

Don't know why this book is called Robot Dreams when a majority of the stories are not about robots but the stories that are there are perfect.
