Isaac Asimov has a way with inspiring you into various worlds of wonder. The man was incredibly intelligent and used the knowledge he gained from his diverse studies to develop intricate worlds with beautiful story telling. While I did not enjoy this book nearly as much as the short story compilation "I, Robot", it was still an excellent story with memorable characters. The only other similar sci-fi I have read would have to be the C. S. Lewis Space Trilogy. This story has a bit less meta going on and is a bit more matter of fact, however I still enjoyed it and bought the sequels as well. These are sort of crime beat murder-mystery novels but without the quirky detective, and is more straight forward. There are conflicts, worries, tension, and surprises that feel a bit more deep because of the more serious characters involved and I'm sure they'll be important in the sequels as well.

Asimov is a great author, and while this book may not necessarily be a classic must read, it is still very enjoyable to anyone interested in Science Fiction, robotics, artificial intelligence, ethics, philosophy, and programming.

The book came in perfect condition, no defects or deformations, no printing errors, no upside down pages or anything of the like. The story is interesting but not ground breaking, and so I've decided to give it four stars for being a great product but not the best.
