О роботах и не только
From Isaac Asimov--the bestselling author of I, Robot and Foundation--comes a collection of 20 of his best science fiction stories. "His name is synonymous with all that is best in science fiction."--The New York Times

Немного удивлена, что рассказы включают в себя не только рассказы про роботов. Хотя в целом тематика, конечно, прослеживается. Азимову очень хорошо дается эта тема, как, наверное, никому другому. В книге поднимаются интересные моральные аспекты робототехники, которые вскоре могут стать актуальны и для нашей действительности.
Любителям фантастики, книг про роботов и ИИ настоятельно рекомендую.
