Gold

A compilation, published after Asimov's death, of stories and essays previously uncollected in book form. Not all of these are about robots, but some are, and the collection contains some decent short stories. A worthwhile purchase, in my opinion.

The book is divided into three sections, listed below:

• Hallucination
