Complete robot

Prévoyant l'effondrement de l'Empire galactique, le psychohistorien Hari Seldon a créé deux fondations, l'une officielle, l'autre secrète, qui manipulent l'évolution de l'humanité. Cinq siècles après leur établissement, la foudre menace de nouveau. Quelqu'un fausse les cartes du jeu. S'agirait-il d'une troisième force, oeuvrant dans l'ombre à l'insu de tous ?

Fondation foudroyée

Andrew was one of Earth's first house robot domestic servants—smoothly designed and functional. But when Andrew started to develop special talents which exceeded the confines of his allotted positronic pathways, he abandoned his domestic duties in favour of more intellectual pursuits. As time passed, Andrew acquired knowledge, feelings and ambitions way beyond anything ever experienced by any other mechanical men. And he found himself launched on to a career which would bring him fame fortune—and danger. For a robot who wants to be human must also be prepared to die...In the Bicentennial Man, Isaac Asimov returns to his first and most enduring love—robotics. The result is a brilliant book of first-class entertainment and mind-spinning ideas which confirm Asimov's supreme status as Grand Master of science fiction.

Futurs à bascule (Isaac Asimov présente, #9)

Prisonnier de son embonpoint et ennemi juré des voyages, le célèbre Dr Urth, extraterrologiste émérite, ne s'est jamais éloigné de son domicile. Cependant, ce savant en pantoufles possède une connaissance si parfaite des planètes étrangères et de leurs habitants que c'est à lui que la police a le plus souvent recours pour démasquer les criminels intergalactiques. Ainsi, pour notre plus grande joie, assistons-nous au mariage heureux de la science-fiction et de l'intrigue policière. Du crime parfait sur la Lune aux aventures d'un James Bond de l'an 4000 agressé par les filles de l'espace, le grand mérite du Dr Urth - et de son créateur - sera de ne jamais faire appel à d'opportuns gadgets futuristes pour résoudre les énigmes, mais à la pure logique.

Fondation 2 (Fondation #4-5)

Was the mysterious 30-megaton blast that flattened a Siberian forest in 1908 actually caused by a small black hole? Does matter drawn into a black hole reappear out the 'other side' as anti-matter, a sort of mirror-image of the universe as we know it? Could back holes explain the 'Big Bang'? Does their existence raise the possibility that matter can move faster than the speed of light? The noted scientist and science fiction author explores the exciting implications of black holes, taking the reader on an engaging tour from the atom's innermost core to the outermost reaches of the universe.

I, Robot

A millennium into the future two advances 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.Detective Elijah Baley is called to the Spacer world Aurora to solve a bizarre case of roboticide. The prime suspect is a gifted roboticist who had the means, the motive, and the opportunity to commit the crime. There's only one catch: Baley and his positronic partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, must prove the man innocent. For in a case of political intrigue and love between woman and robot gone tragically wrong, there's more at stake than simple justice. This time Baley's career, his life, and Earth's right to pioneer the Galaxy lie in the delicate balance.
