Isaac Asimov: Robot Dreams (2004)

Robot Dreams (1986) is a collection of science fiction short stories by American writer Isaac …

Finished "Hostess". Concept was interesting enough but the social aspects of this one really seemed dated. The ending also wasn't very satisfying.

"Breeds there a man...?" I found significantly better.

@73ms "Hostess" was also made into an X-Minus One Radio program Dec of 1956. I haven't read the short story, but want too.
Like you I think the concept of the story was/is interesting, but I always felt like it was trying to say more about society. I felt like it was a bit of a mixed message honestly. I want to read the story one day thou.
