The pieces were all originally published in magazines between 1956 and 1958, with the exception of the closing poem, "Rejection Slips", which was original to the collection.

I enjoyed this early collection of Asimov stories. I especially liked the stories about the supercomputer Multivac and the story “The Ugly Little Boy” about a lost boy far from home.
