I was only able to get 22/25 on the robot quiz. I have more studying to do.
I’m enjoying the Pohl on Asimov posts, thanks for keeping up with the latest installments.
Some really great book covers on that “Influential” post, although I cannot help but wonder if the choices are based more on the popularity of the book itself. Is the book popular because of the cover? For most of these I doubt that is the case.
