Isaac Asimov: CalibanReeks

Deze epische sciencefiction-saga verkent een diepgaand ideologisch conflict tussen afstammelingen van de mensheid, waarbij de divergentie wordt geschetst tussen degenen die de Aarde verlieten voor een comfortabel leven in de ruimte en degenen die achterbleven om actief te koloniseren. Het verhaal duikt in de angsten rond robots, die een bron van angst en verdeeldheid worden, vooral wanneer wezens lijken te ontstaan die buiten ethische codes vallen. De serie behandelt thema's als menselijkheid, evolutie en de onvermijdelijkheid van confrontatie wanneer deze wordt geconfronteerd met een mondiale crisis die met tegenzin samenwerking afdwingt en verborgen bedreigingen ontdekt.

    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...
