This book was a great influence on my outlook of the future. One of the more satisfying books I ever read.

I picked up this book during a downtown sidewalk sale in my hometown. The used bookstore it comes from usually isn't very organized and almost never has any sci-fi so I normally don't peruse thier table very much. However this particular time they seemed somewhat organized and I happened to spy this book along with a few others.
Always a fan of sci-fi I picked it up and took it home. Upon reading the table of contents I suddenly realized that I had my own copy of farewell to the master (which is the basis for the movie "The day the Earth stood still" - The original) a short story I had always wanted to read. And it also containted second variety by Philip K dick, which by the way was the basis for the movie Screamers, the story being written in the fifty's.
Upon further research it seemed that this book being the last printed in the series seems to be the most common and although I would like to find others I highly doubt that I will. All in all I think it's worth the pick up.

A couple of these stories I read previously in other books, but most of these were new to me. Like any collection, some selections are better than others (choice as to which may be totally a matter a matter of taste). Anyway, this group is slightly better than most other anthologies. Worth giving a read if you want a sampling of classic robot stories.
