A collection of ten short pieces, and while there's the odd average story here, there's a higher overall quality than any of the volumes in this series I've read thus far, excepting perhaps volume 2. There are two excellent stories here - "That Thou Art Mindful of Him!" and "Bicentennial Man" - and if the latter is a little saccharine in places it can also be very affecting, if only one can get past just why Andrew wants to be human in the first place. The robots in the first story have no such hang-up, and are all the more realistic for it. No coincidence, I think, that the best stories in here are robot stories (and there are two more, "Feminine Intuition" and "Light Verse" that are also very good). It's nearly always the robot stories that I like best of Asimov's work, and this volume's particularly heavy on them.
