octavia_cade 's review for:
The Asimov Chronicles: Fifty Years of Isaac Asimov, Volume Six
by Isaac Asimov
A collection of 11 short stories, most of which are science fiction but there are a handful of straight mysteries in there as well. They're mostly pretty average, likeable enough but there's no real stand-out as there's been in most of the other volumes of this series. I think the story I enjoyed most was "Lest We Remember", which as a novelette was the longest piece in here and dealt with an experiment to give a man total recall. As the experiment itself was pretty dodgy, so the results were in turn, and I liked the clear distinction made between memory and intelligence, as well as the relationship between the idiot experimented upon and his rather more clever fiancé.
