Gold (Asimov) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Gold: The Final Science Fiction Stories is a collection of Isaac Asimov's stories and essays. The stories, which compose its first half, are short pieces which had remained uncollected at the time of Asimov's death. As such, they have been criticized as inept or below par—what the writer himself termed "minor Asimov". Likewise, the nonfiction pieces in the book's second half are not generally considered among Asimov's most significant nonfiction output. Nevertheless, Gold contains some notable works. "Cal" describes a robot that wishes to write, and the title story "Gold" expresses both Asimov's admiration of King Lear and his thoughts on cinema adaptations of his own stories.
