Ann asked:

Can this be read as separate short stories, or is it necessary to read all nine stories, in order, to appreciate this book?

Canavan They can be read separately without losing much, but it’s better to read them sequentially since later stories often reference both characters and events found in the earlier ones.
Tiemen I personally really enjoyed the overarching meta-narrative and how it thematically tied the separate stories together in a fairly natural progression. It feels like a journey through the evolution of robotics and gets framed very well as such, and gains a bit more meaning in the process. It can be read separately but i prefer the way it was put together in the finished book.
Alex You can read them separate and understand .
Don DeBon This book is essentially a collection of short stories that were published in magazines and later on tied together with a narrative. You can read them separately if you wish without any issue.
