Histórias de Robôs #1
Histórias de Robôs, Volume 1
'Histórias de robôs' reúne os melhores contos e novelas publicados sobre robôs e computadores, desde o alvorecer do século 20 até o seu término. Nomes da ficção científica moderna, como Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick, Lester Del Rey e o próprio Isaac Asimov, levantam aqui questões polêmicas e dilemas morais que se impõem toda vez que se pretende usurpar o caráter divino da criação. Será possível para uma forma de inteligência desenvolvida artificialmente sobrepujar e até mesmo destruir o seu criador? E essa nova forma seria, na essência, boa ou má? Utilizar os recursos da nossa inteligência para obter uma vida mecânica equivale a profanar alguma lei profunda e intocável? 'Histórias de robôs' mostra como o futuro de ontem foi previsto pelos escritores de ficção científica, um dos sub-gêneros mais emblemático do século 20. E chega-se ao fim da antologia com as perturbadoras sugestões dos autores contemporâneos, empenhados em conjeturas sobre o que os robôs e computadores reservam para o futuro da humanidade.

About the author
Isaac Asimov
4,347 books28k followersWorks of prolific Russian-American writer Isaac Asimov include popular explanations of scientific principles,
The Foundation Trilogy
(1951-1953), and other volumes of fiction.
Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry, wrote as a highly successful author, best known for his books.
Asimov, professor, generally considered of all time, edited more than five hundred books and ninety thousand letters and postcards. He published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey decimal classification but lacked only an entry in the category of philosophy (100).
People widely considered Asimov, a master of the genre alongside Robert Anson Heinlein and Arthur Charles Clarke as the "big three" during his lifetime. He later tied Galactic Empire and the Robot into the same universe as his most famous series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those that Heinlein pioneered and Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson previously produced. He penned "Nightfall," voted in 1964 as the best short story of all time; many persons still honor this title. He also produced well mysteries, fantasy, and a great quantity of nonfiction. Asimov used Paul French, the pen name, for the Lucky Starr, series of juvenile novels.
Most books of Asimov in a historical way go as far back to a time with possible question or concept at its simplest stage. He often provides and mentions well nationalities, birth, and death dates for persons and etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Guide to Science, the tripartite set Understanding Physics, and Chronology of Science and Discovery exemplify these books.
Asimov, a long-time member, reluctantly served as vice president of Mensa international and described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs." He took more pleasure as president of the humanist association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, an elementary school in Brooklyn in New York, and two different awards honor his name.

J'ai globalement bien aimé ce recueil de nouvelles et de romans sur les robots. Le seul bémol, qui explique d'ailleurs pourquoi j'ai fini le tome 2 avant le tome 1, est le fait que toutes les nouvelles se trouvaient dans ce tome, si bien qu'au bout de dizaines de nouvelles sur les robots, ça finit par être répétitif quand on les lit en peu de temps. Aussi, globalement, j'ai préféré les romans sur les robots plutôt que les nouvelles. Il faut dire qu'en général, je préfère les romans aux nouvelles.
Néanmoins, ce recueil de textes démontre une fois de plus l'étendue de l'oeuvre d'Isaac Asimov.

Lecture faite par curiosité, pour savoir ce qu'il faisait et pourquoi il est considéré comme un auteur classique du genre. Le format omnibus de 1000 pages se prête moins bien aux nouvelles, difficile de passer au travers d'un coup. Mention spéciale à Sally, l'Incident du tricentenaire et les Susan Calvin.

Cite: "bien tout d'abord la totalité des 33 nouvelles contenues dans un roman intitulé "Nous les robots". Ce recueil contient la plupart des nouvelles écrites par Isaac Asimov sur les robots"

Devidamente relido! Contos muito bons, bem escolhidos e com introduções que ajudam a contextualizar a época e o estilo dos autores. Destaque para a dupla de contos "A Volta do Robô" e "Mesmo que os sonhadores morram", escritos por autores diferentes onde ambas as histórias se completam. Incrível!
