Isaac Asimov Short Stories Bibliography
This list of short stories by Isaac Asimov is divided into published collections (along with a list of short stories which were noted by Asimov as having never been published in a collection, due to having been lost). Note, though, that some of his novels, such as Foundation, could also be considered short story collections, because they were originally published serially in stories that were relatively self-contained. Azazel and Magic contain fantasy stories – the other non-mystery collections contain mostly science fiction.

“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. “Izzy,” she would say, “did you ask a good question today?” That difference—asking good questions—made me become a scientist.”
—Isidor Isaac Rabi (20th century)
“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
