Gold: The Final Science Fiction Collection is a 1995 collection of stories and essays by American writerIsaac Asimov. The stories, which comprise the volume's first half, are short pieces which had remained uncollected at the time of the author's death. "Cal" describes a robot that wishes to write, and the title story "Gold" expresses both Asimov's admiration ofKing Lear and his thoughts on cinema adaptations of his own stories. The story "Gold" won aHugo Award.[1]
