Description
From Kapek's biotech machines of R.U.R. to Kuttner's Proud Robot to the fictional assortment of mechanical sex toys, rebels, grandmothers, servants, and masters, these machines have represented our dreams as well as our anxieties. We love these literary creations but fear them as well. Stories from the last decade representing the many faces of robots ― beautiful, hideous, and everything in between.

I'm not a huge short story reader, but when I saw this collection at the library, I decided to check it out because it had one of my favorite authors, Cory Doctorow in it.I'm about halfway through, and very much enjoying the stories. Rising Waters was particularly good, a story about a military project that speed-raises AI one after another, until it gets what it wants. The Cory Doctorow story I, Robot is excellent.There's a lot of much older fiction about artificial intelligence and robots, and it's nice to see a collection of all current works by varying authors to see what the current themes are. If you enjoyed Ted Chiang's The Lifecycle of Software Objects, I think you'll also enjoy this collection.
