As mentioned this is my 1st Asimov book. I enjoyed it enough to buy another of Asimov's books. This book chronicles the history of the progression the creation of robots and there place in human society. This is as seen through the eyes of a robo-pyscologist. She is being interviewed and tells the story through her perception. She is very old, I love it when at the end of the interview she tells the interviewer that she has seen all the progression that she could in her life span and the next progressions will have to noted by the interviewer and up and coming generations. aym
