It will delight robot fans and those who love entertaining, puzzling and stimulating tales. Published simultaneously with the master's third full-length novel, 'The Robots of Dawn', 'The Robot Collection' is the first one-volume anthology to contain all of Asimov's robot fiction and is a tribute to the skill and imagination which have placed Isaac Asimov among the all-time greats of science fiction. He is the author of the unshakable 'Three Laws of Robotics':I. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. II. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. III. A robot must protect it's own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
