Praise for this book
Praise for Robot Visions
"The earliest tales here, written from 1940 to 1960, remain among the most-loved in the field."--Publishers Weekly
"Robot Visions proves what we have suspected for decades: that Isaac Asimov's mind is far more creative and faster-working than any positronic brain."--Ben Bova
