The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories

The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories is a science fiction anthology written and edited by Isaac Asimov (ISBN 0-385-12198-9). Following the usual form for Asimov collections, it consists of ten short stories wrapped with new writing describing how each came to be written. The stories are as follows (original publication in parentheses):

• "Feminine Intuition" (F&SF, October 1969)
• "Waterclap" (Galaxy, May 1970)
• "That Thou Art Mindful of Him" (F&SF, May 1974)
• "Stranger in Paradise" (If, May-June 1974)
• "The Life and Times of Multivac" (New York Times Magazine, November 18, 1974)
• "The Winnowing" (Analog, February 1976)
• "The Bicentennial Man" (Judy-Lynn del Rey, ed., Stellar Science Fiction #2, 1976)
• "Marching In" (High Fidelity, April 1976)
• "Old-fashioned" (Bell Telephone Magazine, February 1976)
• "The Tercentenary Incident" (Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, August 1976)
• "Birth of a Notion" (Amazing Stories, April 1976)

Two of the stories, "Feminine Intuition" and "The Bicentennial Man", were inspired by Judy-Lynn del Rey. The latter was expanded into a novel, The Positronic Man (with Robert Silverberg), which formed the basis of the 1999 Touchstone Pictures film "Bicentennial Man".
