Short Science Fiction Review

Written in 1939, Isaac Asimov’s Robbie was first published in the September 1940 issue of Super Science Stories magazine as Strange Playfellow. The version reviewed on the Short Science Fiction Review is the first story in Isaac Asimov’s collection of robot stories, I, Robot (1950). Robbie tells the story of a young girl with a robot nursemaid and centres around the theme of technophobia. Have you read this story? What did you think?
