Piper avatar reviewed The Best of Isaac Asimov on
The Best of Isaac Asimov, published in 1973, is a collection of 12 short stories by Isaac Asimov, chosen by Asimov himself. It includes 2 of his early works, 2 of his late works (post-1960), and 8 from the 1950s, which he refers to as his "golden decade" in the introduction. Except for the last story in the book, Mirror Image, none of the stories are related to his robot and Foundation series, and only a few mention the Multivac computer.
