The Positronic Man — Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg
This is a full length novel version of The Bicentennial Man.
As i had already read The Bicentennial Man i chose to skip this for now and get on with reading the rest of the books. I can always come back to it later if i feel so inclined.
Next book in the series is Mother Earth.
