The Caves Of Steel. Robot Series 1

Harper Voyager. Paperback. Pp: 256. A millennium into the future two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. Isaac Asimov's Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn to work together. Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions. But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help track down the killer. The relationship between Life and his Spacer superiors, who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start. Then he learned that they had assigned him a partner: R. Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the "R" stood for robot- and his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim!. ISBN: 9780008277765. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.

De drempel van het onbekende

Elsevier, 1983. Paperback. Pp: 336. Onze kennis heeft, na een langzame toename, een explosieve groei doorgemaakt, zodat de menselijke horizon in alle richtingen is teruggeweken. Wij kunnen nu van pool tot pool over de hele aarde zwerven. Wij beklimmen de hoogste berg, peilen de diepste zee, landen op de maan en sturen onze ruimtevaartuigen langs verre planeten om ons te laten zien wat ze daar waarnemen. Onze onderzoekingen richten zich met hetzelfde gemak op de grootste ster als op het kleinste atoom en we schenken onze aandacht aan duizelingwekkende begrippen al zwarte gaten en quarks. We raken vertrouwd met temperaturen die de kern van de heetste sterren nabijkomen en met de diepten van de meest geïsoleerde uitgestrektheden van de onverlichte ruimte. In DE DREMPEL VAN HET ONBEKENDE vertelt Isaac Asimov welke heldhaftige onderzoekingstocht de mensheid heeft uitgevoerd waarvan de resultaten nu ons erfgoed zijn, en maakt hij ons duidelijk hoe groot de afstanden zijn die wij nog hebben af te leggen.

The Gods Themselves. SF Masterworks

Gollancz, 2013. Paperback. Pp: 270. In the twenty-second century Earth obtains limitless, free energy from a source science little understands: an exchange between Earth and a parallel universe, using a process devised by the aliens. But even free energy has a price. The transference process itself will eventually lead to the destruction of the Earth's Sun-and of Earth itself. Only a few know the terrifying truth-an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien inhabitant of a dying planet, a lunar-born human intuitionist who senses the imminent annihilation of the Sun. They know the truth-but who will listen? They have foreseen the cost of abundant energy-but who will believe? These few beings, human and alien, hold the key to the Earth's survival.

Ik, robot

Vantoen.nu. Paperback. Over het boek: In deze briljante reeks van negen samenhangende korte verhalen beschrijft Isaac Asimov de geschiedenis van de robots. Uit het eenvoudige begin van Robbie, de robot huisbediende kindermeisje, was een steeds meer geperfectioneerde machine gegroeid, die, in uiterlijk en 'innerlijk' bijna niet meer van de mens te onderscheiden, de mens geholpen had het heelal te veroveren. Tenslotte was de vol maakte robot ontworpen, Stephen Byerley genaamd, die tot eerste Wereld Coördinator was gekozen en de wereld beter bestuurde dan de mens zelf ooit had gekund. In dit boek wordt de toekomst zichtbaar gemaakt door een kaleidoscoop van spannende en soms benauwende avonturen, die evenwel met een grote dosis weldadige humor zijn gekruid. Ik, robot staat hoog genoteerd op de lijst van meesterwerken uit de SF literatuur. Ook in de Nederlandse vertaling zal het ongetwijfeld veel lezers vinden. ISBN: 9789031502004.
