It all began with my month's layoff between galactic service assignments. I reached Marsport for the ususla three-day stopover. Before landing, I received a spacegram from my wife, Hilda, saying she would stay and wait for me on Earth. So I called Flora and set a date.

"The best Asimov collection.Almost every story is a jewel.Profession is a story which goes with me since I've first read it. The Last Question needs no introduction, but "Spell my name with an S" is also a great story (even aside from the intended pun on Asimov's own name). " — Necnec (5 out of 5 stars)

" Haven't actually read them all, but enough float around the internet that I want to keep track of these three. "
" Amusingly dated but entirely relevant stories that explore the human condition through science fiction. "
" A solid collection of short stories. "
" Another amazingly enjoyable collection of Asimov's works. Through both his utopian and anti-utopian vignettes of the future, he highlights the humanity and the potential (both for good and evil) of our present reality. "
" Nine of Asimov's best short stories. Includes my personal favorite, The Last Question, if I'm not mistaken. That story is a brilliant, though somewhat predictable, combination of sci-fi and theology. "
" Great sci-fi stories, even if it is obvious they were written in the 1950s. "
" One of the best books i ever read!!! "
