First published in Infinity Science Fiction (February 1957 issue) by Isaac Asimov. In the 1950s, Dr Asimov tried combining Mystery Fiction and Science Fiction. This is one such story, where he also pulled in Spy Fiction.During the past hundred years of Cold War, the two sides of the conflict have maintained a delicate stalemate. However, one of "Our" spies has discovered that "They" have gained a frightening advantage over "Us"; they've built robots that can pass as human despite close proximity and they've infiltrated America and her allies with ten such robots.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Elias Lynn, Chief of the Bureau of Robotics, is expected to counter the problem. His department has developed robots that look somewhat human, but wouldn't be able to pass close inspection. He's rushed from meeting to meeting, each one placing expectations on him. He accepts, realizing that he's being set up as The Scapegoat in case this all goes wrong. His only escape is to figure out a way to stop/identify the humanoids before they can meet."Let's Get Together" has been republished several times; S-F: The Year's Greatest Science-Fiction and Fantasy: Third Annual Volume (1958), Escapade (August 1960 issue), Dodici Volte Domani (1964), The Rest of the Robots (1964), Van Jules Verne Tot Isaac Asimov: De vijftig beste science fiction-verhalen (1981), The Complete Robot (1982), De Dag Erna...: Het leven na de bom (1983), and The Complete Stories, Volume 2 (1992).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Let's Get Together / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: The story is included in The Rest of the Robots and The Complete Robot alongside Asimov's other robot stories. However the robots clearly aren't Three Laws-Compliant, and the political situation doesn't fit the One World Order described in stories like "The Evitable Conflict", so it's probably not intended to be in continuity with them. | |

Action Bomb: Each of the humanoid robots that have infiltrated "Us" is equipped with components for two types of bomb. One is a normal chemical explosive. The other is a Total Conversion bomb, which requires all ten of the robots to meet in-person. | |
