What Is This Thing Called Love

“What Is This Thing Called Love?” is a science-fiction story by Isaac Asimov, recorded with a four-star rating. The available evidence establishes the work’s bibliographic identity and genre, but does not provide enough textual material to support a reliable account of its plot, characters, setting, narrative form, or ending.

Identity and Classification

“What Is This Thing Called Love?” appears in the supplied source as an Isaac Asimov work classified as science fiction. Its recorded rating is four stars, placing it among the more highly rated entries in the surrounding collection. The title is also recorded in the shorter form “What Is This Thing Called Love,” but the full title is the canonical form used here.

Evidence Limits

No scene, synopsis, quotation, character name, location, conflict, or outcome is included in the available evidence. It is therefore not possible to determine from the record whether the title refers to romantic love, a broader form of attachment, or a question posed through speculative technology or social change. Interpretations involving those possibilities would go beyond the evidence.

Place in the Collection

The work is listed alongside other Isaac Asimov entries, including “The Wedge,” “What If,” “The Winds Of Change,” and “Wine Is A Mocker.” That neighboring listing confirms its position within a group of works by the same author, but it does not establish thematic, chronological, or narrative connections among them. The four-star classification remains the strongest evaluative information supplied for this individual story.
