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.
Isaac Asimov : CalibanSéries
Cette saga épique de science-fiction explore un profond conflit idéologique entre les descendants de l'humanité, traçant la divergence entre ceux qui ont quitté la Terre pour une vie confortable dans l'espace et ceux qui sont restés pour coloniser activement. Le récit se penche sur les angoisses entourant les robots, qui deviennent une source de peur et de division, surtout lorsque des êtres apparemment en dehors des codes éthiques émergent. La série aborde des thèmes tels que l'humanité, l'évolution et l'inévitabilité de la confrontation face à une crise mondiale qui impose une coopération réticente et révèle des menaces cachées.

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...
