ISAAC ASIMOV'S time-travel classic The End of Eternity seems to have the right ingredients for the big screen - so it's encouraging to hear that it is going to be made into a feature film by New Regency. The movie...
These laws is well known in robotics education.
Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three rules written by Isaac Asimov, which almost all positronic robots appearing in his fiction must obey. Introduced in his 1942 short story “Runaround”, although foreshadowed in a few earlier stories, the Laws state the following:Here the content of the [...]
WITH so many of today's movie projects being remakes, prequels or sequels, it's refreshing to hear that sci-fi author Isaac Asimov's 1951 space saga Foundation is to be made into a film. Foundation, the first volume in a trilogy, tells...
As Peter Jackson and Co. did with The Lord of the Rings, New Line founders Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, under their new Unique Features banner, are looking to bring Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series to the big screen.
An epic science fiction series, spanning literally hundreds of years and cataloguing the rise and fall of civilizations, [...]
Yesterday I started reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation. In the first chapters I sensed that the author had an ecological perspective on things so I googled around a bit on Asimov and found this 1977 audio clip from CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks in which Isaac Asimov tells us about the greenhouse effect and how it could be warming up the Earth. He also explains why we should care. "This greenhouse e
In these stories Isaac Asimov creates the Three Laws of Robotics and ushers in the Robot Age. When Earth is ruled by master-machines, when robots often seem more human than mankind, the Three Laws ensure that humans remain superior and the robots are kept in their rightful place. But an insane telepathic robot results from a production error; a robot assembled in space logically deduces its superi

Siempre me ha desconcertado un poco mi incapacidad para resolver acertijos matemáticos, ya que (en el fondo de mi corazón) siento como si esto fuera incompatible conmigo mismo. Por cierto que muchos de mis queridos amigos han intentado la explicación que en lo profundo de mi ser reposa una vena de estupidez hábilmente escondida, pero de alguna manera esta teoría nunca me ha convencido.La
I’d like to start by apologizing for the title of this post. I just had to somehow cram the Nozick reference in, no matter the cost. A while back, Alex Zalben, writing at SciFi Scanner, posted the following: Find me a sci-fi movie where there is a Utopia, and I will point out the worm in the apple. Every single time we are presented with a Utopian society on film, there is also a corrupt
23 de Abril, Día del Libro La obra maestra de Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary, una historia de amor brutal y realista que trataba sobre el adulterio, fue condenada como pornografía cuando se publicó por entregas en un periódico en 1856, y Flaubert fue acusado de ofender la moral pública y la religión. La corte censuró su libro, pero absolvió a su autor. Aunque la novela acabó vendiéndose a miles, Flaubert dijo que deseaba tener bastante dinero como para comprar cada ejemplar, “arrojarlos todos al fuego y no volver a oír hablar del libro jamás”. Emily Dickinson, cuya poesía emociona ahora a millones de personas, dio vuelo a su imaginación en lo concerniente a la Tierra, el firmamento y el mismo cielo. Pero sólo abandonó Massachussets, su Estado natal, para visitar a su

It makes me so happy to see Eric writing about Spatburgunder. I was giddy when I saw the blog update was Spatburgunder. A wine I have been extolling the virtues for many years. I will say, it might not be everybody's cup of tea, just like Jura wines are not, but if you start playing in this sandbox and start to love it, you will be a very happy camper. From Furst, to Rebholz, to Salwey, to Meyer-Nakel, to Keller, to Kunstler to even Markus Molitor there is a style of Spatburgunder for everybody. So let's see if this blog post by Eric evokes as much conversation as kids and wine.Probably not.

En 1804, cuando la Revolución Industrial, allá por sus comienzos, se abría paso en la estructura económica inglesa, el poeta William Blake previó ya sus consecuencias con odio y malos presentimientos. En un prefacio al poema titulado “Milton” contrastaba las obras de Dios y del Demonio:And was Jerusalem builded hereAmong those dark Satanic mills? (Y Jerusalem ¿fue construida aquíentre esas lóbregas fábricas satánicas?)Desde entonces no han faltado nunca voces que han lamentado la industrialización y todas sus secuelas, que se han quejado de la producción en serie de artefactos indistinguibles, del ajetreo de ruidos y basura sin sentido, de la masa informe de hormigón y asfalto que engulle interminablemente los verdes campos y de la incesante producción de efluvios (gaseo

Dün, bugün ve Yarın Bilim Kurgu yazarı Isaac Asimov kitaplarında hep bir İmparatorluğu anlatır.Bu imparatorluk bir düş gibi romanlarında , öykülerinde sayfalarca işlenir durur.Esasında insanoğlunun Kral Sargon 'dan bu yana 5,000 yıldır kurmayı düşleyip ve sonra koruyamadığı tatlı bir düş.Düşü bozan , yok eden hep 'barbar ' olanların çıkardığı savaşlar olmuştur . Bitmek tükenmek bilmeyen savaşlar, binlerce yıldır süregidiyor .Din Savaşları konusunda şunları söylüyor Asimov . :"Avrupa yüz yıldan fazla bir süre boyunca, 1522’den 1648’e kadar “din savaşları” nedeniyle kana bulanmıştır.Bunun nedeni de Papalıktır .Katoliklerle Protestanlar arasında Papalık sorunu nedeniyle telafisi imkansız bir ayrılık olduğunu görürüz. Katolikler Papa’yı İsa’nın vekili ve tüm dünya kiliselerinin başkanı olarak görürken, Protestanlar bunu kabul etmez. Bunun için savaşırlar."Dün "Tarım toplulukları ürünlerini
La trilogia di Asimov:
Cronache della Galassia, il Crollo della Galassia Centrale, l’altra faccia della Spirale.
Ecco un altro esempio di applicazione di numero tre rimasto famoso.
La prima volta che ho letto la trilogia è stato vent’anni fa.
L’ho riletta con piacere in questi giorni.
Ci sono tutti gli elementi della science fiction: viaggi interstellari, battaglie, salti nell’iperspazio, i soli, […]
