Commentary Conducive To Books The Complete Stories, Vol 1 (The Complete Stories #1)
A short story can be as interesting, deep, meaningful and transcendental as any novel if it comes from a competitive writer, sometimes, ideas don’t need length but wit and passion. This is hard to review, Asimov’s work covers a wide territory, and to be honest, as a short story fanatic, he met my expectations. Every story is good in its own way, they come from a strong opinión, explore deep into our future as the technology codependents we are or exist just to entertain, but they never fail. Asimov is on his best when writing or analyzing global population and a posible evolution, so, lack of character development? Yes sir! Do I complain? Not at all. There is something in this book that will speak to you, I can guarantee it.Esto ya lo he escrito antes, pero siempre hago el comentario porque creo que es necesario. No me interesa el desarrollo de personajes en una historia corta, y en mi opinión no es lo más importante. Aclarado esto, el primer volumen de cuentos completos de Isaac Asimov me ha encantado y no he encontrado una sola historia que me dejara indiferente, aunque claro tengo mis favoritas.
El volumen en si puede intimidar, es bastante extenso, pero se lee con facilidad gracias al enorme talento de su autor para escribir sobre algo inmensamente cerebral sin tanta complejidad. Su mayor acierto: Multivac, vaya que es una exageración de nuestra actualidad y probablemente la mejor de las ideas que tuvo en su vida. Lo mejor de esta colección esta relacionado con Multivac
Lo dije más arriba y lo repito; hay alguna historia que no solo va a gustarte si no que te dejara con la boca abierta. Hay algo para todos, el libro funciona por la gran variedad de estilos y argumentos que tiene y su forma de exagerar y adelantarse al camino que está recorriendo la humanidad se nos presenta de manera indiscutiblemente realista al no dramatizar ninguna cuestión.
Mis favoritos: El pasado ha muerto, Sufragio universal, El lugar acuoso, Espacio vital, Satisfacción garantizada, Algún día, Soñar es asunto privado, Profesión, Todos los males del mundo, La última pregunta, El niño feo, Anochecer, Sally. Y si tuviera que elegir solo una, habría una batalla épica entre Todos los males del mundo y La última pregunta.
Si eres fan del género, no puedes pasar de largo a Asimov. Entendía la relación que como humanidad tenemos con la tecnología. Altamente recomendado.
Y ahora unas citas que me gustaron:
“Y en ese mundo imperfecto, los ciudadanos soberanos de la primera y más grande democracia electrónica habían ejercido una vez más…su libre derecho al voto.”
“Con el correr de los años he descubierto una cosa: su trabajo consiste en dar felicidad…a los demás.”
“Multivac, ¿qué deseas más que ningúna otra cosa?
Quiero morir.”
“¿Y que tiene la oscuridad para que me enloquezca?”
“…el aliento contenido de alguien que procuraba conservar la compostura en un mundo que se replegaba hacia las sombras.”
“Cuando los mundos unidos sean una realidad…habrán olvidado el propósito de los métodos que yo he utilizado. Para ellos representaran la guerra y la muerte. Tus convocatorias a la unión, tu idealismo, serán recordados para siempre…Y cuando construyan estatuas, a mí no me levantaran ninguna.”

This is a collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov from the heyday of post-WWII science fiction. Atomic age blue sky stuff with a sense of the frontier in it a still with a bit of optimism in future. It is always fun to read fiction from a time when the future seemed like a good thing.Enjoyed it! These stories are so good and there's so many of them, several I wish were longer. There's only 2 stories (1 very short) in the whole bunch that aren't worth reading. Got a lot out of this book overall. Asimov had such a creative imagination and had me really thinking at times.
A short story can be as interesting, deep, meaningful and transcendental as any novel if it comes from a competitive writer, sometimes, ideas dont need length but wit and passion. This is hard to review, Asimovs work covers a wide territory, and to be honest, as a short story fanatic, he met my expectations. Every story is good in its own way, they come from a strong opinión, explore deep into our future as the technology codependents we are or exist just to entertain, but they never fail.
Asimov is one of the only authors I know of where every short story is fascinating, creative, and unique. It's really unfortunate that this anthology set was never completed. I figured out if i read Fifty Years of Isaac Asimov, Early Asimov, the Complete Robot, Edge of Tomorrow, Winds of Change, Azazel, Gold, and Magic, i'll get all but 25 of the scifi stories that have been published in anthologies. (There are 15 more that were never anthologized)

Read way too much of this before realizing that, of all the incredible possible futures this guy could imagine, in every single one a woman can only either support her husband in his important work or be a mistress.
