I, Asimov
Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov also possessed one of the most brilliant and original minds of our time. His accessible style and far-reaching interests in subjects ranging from science to humor to history earned him the nickname 'the Great Explainer.' I. Asimov is his personal story--vivid, open, and honest--as only Asimov himself could tell it. Here is the story of the paradoxical genius who wrote of travel to the stars yet refused to fly in airplanes; who imagined alien universes and vast galactic civilizations while staying home to write; who compulsively authored more than 470 books yet still found the time to share his ideas with some of the great minds of our century. Here are his wide-ranging thoughts and sharp-eyed observations on everything from religion to politics, love and divorce, friendship and Hollywood, fame and mortality. Here, too, is a riveting behind-the-scenes look at the varied personalities--Campbell, Ellison, Heinlein,

Jag, Robot
Isaac Asimovs kultförklarade science fiction-klassiker Jag, robot från 1950 är läst över hela världen. Nu kommer den i en ny efterlängtad utgåva.1. En robot får inte skada en människa eller genom underlåtelse att handla tillåta att en människa skadas.2. En robot måste lyda de befallningar som den mottar från människor, med undantag av sådana fall då dylika befallningar kommer i konflikt med den första lagen.3. En robot måste skydda sin egen existens, förutsatt att detta icke medför brott mot den första eller andra lagen.Så lyder robotologins tre lagar som är grunden för att människan och maskinen ska kunna existera fredligt sida vid sida. Men konflikter uppstår mellan lagarna, och robotpsykologen Susan Calvin på Amerikanska Aktiebolaget Robotar och Mekaniska Människor tvingas använda sig av hela sitt kunnande för att förhindra en katastrof för mänskligheten.Jag, robot kan utan överdrift sägas ha inspirerat så gott som alla efterföljande böcker och filmer i genren, som Bladerunner och Terminator för att bara nämna några.
