Isaac Asimov: Caliban

Questa epica saga di fantascienza esplora un profondo conflitto ideologico tra i discendenti dell'umanità, tracciando la divergenza tra coloro che hanno lasciato la Terra per una vita confortevole nello spazio e coloro che sono rimasti per colonizzare attivamente. La narrazione approfondisce le ansie riguardanti i robot, che diventano fonte di paura e divisione, specialmente quando emergono esseri apparentemente al di fuori dei codici etici. La serie affronta temi di umanità, evoluzione e l'inevitabilità del confronto di fronte a una crisi globale che impone una cooperazione riluttante e scopre minacce nascoste.

    In a universe protected by the Three Laws of Robotics, humans are safe. The First Law states, A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. When an experiment with a new type of robot brain goes awry, the unthinkable happens. Caliban is created... A robot without guilt or conscience. A robot with no knowledge of or compassion for humanity. A robot without the Three Laws. Caliban is a searing examination of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, a challenge welcomed and sanctioned by Isaac Asimov, the late beloved genius of science fiction, and written with his cooperation by one of today's hottest talents, Roger MacBride Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Ambush at Corella, The Modular Man, and The Ring of Charon.

    In a universe protected by the Three Laws of Robotics, humans are safe. The Third Law states, A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. The world of Inferno is dying. A world where Spacers work with Settlers, where standard Three-Law robots exist alongside the controversial New-Law robots. A world that will be uninhabitable in a few decades. Their only hope comes from a plan some call insane, and some call visionary: drop a comet on the planet. The impact could create new rivers that would save the planet but it could also destroy Inferno completely! Now the Spacers of Inferno must take a risk. A risk that their robots, pledged to protect humans from any harm, real or imagined, may not let them take...
