Robot Dreams

Just finished reading Robot Dreams by Asimov. The first few stories were ok, the usual Asimov robot type. I did not like The Ugly Little Boy (considered by many to be amongst Asimov's best works) that much, and basically did not find the book as persuasive as the rest (like Foundation, but I guess it is not a correct comparison, since one is a series, the other is a collection of short stories).

Ans then there came The last question.

This is among the best short stories I have ever read. I have read it numerous times, but still am overawed by the ending, it staggers you like nothing ever can.

An online version is available here. I would however recommend going through the book, since flipping the pages in suspense has a different feeling w.r.t. scrolling down... but read it nonetheless.

Stunning story... almost flawless

Book Rating: 7/10
