Robot Visions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robot Visions is a collection of science fiction short stories and factual essays by Isaac Asimov. Many of the stories are reprinted from other Asimov collections, particularly I, Robot and The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories. However, the stories in I, Robot (which were originally published in Astounding Science Fiction magazine) were edited to make a more cohesive whole; Robot Visions reprints the magazine versions without these emendations. It also includes the title story, "Robot Visions", which combines Asimov's motifs of robots and of time travel. It is the companion book to Robot Dreams.
