What Can I say? Definitely some stories age better than others.
It's probably not fair to state these stories feel mostly unoriginal, given that they are older than most similar stories.

New Worlds, Highway J, The Tin You Touch, The Man Who Saw the Future were all fairly basic. Although they were all published between 1930 & 1952.
The Tin You Touch also had a very casual portrayal of domestic violence as well, which does make me wonder if it was actually that common and accepted in the early 1950s?

Asimov's "Does a Bee Care?" was not his best, but followed an interesting enough idea.
Eric Frank Russel's "The Sin of Hyacinth Peuch" & Phillip K Dick's "Piper in the Woods" were both well-written enough to be quite enjoyable.

These are early stories from some of the best authors....and some of these authors not at their best. I've read at least half of these stories in other collections and remember (and re-read) them fondly; but the weak ones are still weak.

Sam Moskowitz has gathered an anthology of robot stories with the classics "I, Robot" by Eando Binder and "Misfit" by Michael Fischer, among others. My favorite was "Helen O'Loy" by Lester Del Rey -- a story of a female robot who falls in love with her owner.
All of the stories provide entertainment that you wish would not end. Overall a great introduction to some of the great science fiction authors of the early days that will leave you searching for their other books.
