Reviews
–
As well as the stories, the book is structured thus :
Introduction
Some Non-human Robots
Some Immobile Robots
Some Metallic Robots
Some Humanoid Robots
Powell and Donovan
Susan Calvin
Two Climaxes
A Last Word
Asimov explains he wanted to group the stories together by type, not by chronology, and these are the various sections he gives when doing so, as explained in the introduction, and he also contributes an afterword.
Of course this isn't actually complete now, as he has come up with more.
