In this collection of short stories held together with an interview-like frame narrative, Asimov depicts fascinating snippets from a world where humans and robots coexist (not as equals, mind you). Each story presents a unique take on the nature of robots and how humans treat, and interact with, them. Whilst the book was interesting, I did find that I, Robot was a little heavy in its use of scientific language making it harder to read, which is the only reason I didn't give it 3 stars.

I hadn't realized that this was a collection of short stories, rather than a novel. The primary tie between each story was the three laws of robotics. I think my favorite was the one about the lost robot. That was brilliant and the robot psychologist's attempt to "find" the robot was an exercise in logical superiority. All in all, this a great book and the genius of Asimov makes science fiction seem more like science.
