The Complete Robot

Robot Series

By: Isaac Asimov

Narrated by: William Hope

Isaac Asimov’s Robot series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day.

Could a robot ever show true creativity? Is it wise to trust self-driving cars? Will robotic body parts transform human beings into machines? Will organic technology allow robots to become human?

The Complete Robot combines the stories in I, Robot and The Rest of the Robots with many more found only in this collection – including one of Asimov’s masterpieces, the Hugo and Nebula award-winning novella ‘The Bicentennial Man’.

Featuring Dr. Susan Calvin, Donovan and Powell, and the detective Elijah Baley, hero of the Robot novels, this is the ultimate collection of short stories from a genius of the genre.

Critic reviews

‘Isaac Asimov was one of the great explainers of the age…It will never be known how many practicing scientists today, in how many countries, owe their initial inspiration to a book, article, or short story by Isaac Asimov’
Carl Sagan

Masterpiece

I just can’t believe this was written between the ’40s and ’80s. What a masterpiece, exploring dilemmas we’re only beginning to face today. Such vision is a pleasure to read for any sci-fi fan..

Most of the Robot stories in a single book

The book did not disappoint and it has 31 of the robot stories. However, somewhere in the middle the chapter and the title become unsynced.
