The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories

Eleven recent short stories and an impromptu poem with autobiographical commentaries reveal the storytelling wizardry of Asimov and his profound understanding of current times.
Appearing originally in publications ranging from the New York Times (its first science fiction tale ever published!) to the former If magazine (its last!), with themes leading from Women’s Liberation to “Feminine Intuition,” from the Bicentennial to “Death at the Tercentennial,” and from mathematical games to life-and-death struggles, these short stories examine the Asimovian landscape with typical wit and understanding.
