Description

Isaac Asimov’s Robot series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day.

Gladia Delmarre's homeworld, the Spacer planet Solaria, has been abandoned - by its human population. Countless robots remain there. And when traders from Settler worlds attempt to salvage them, the robots of Solaria turn to killing…in defiance of the Three Laws of Robotics.

Pax Robotica

Long ago, Gladia's robots Daneel and Giskard played a vital role in opening the worlds beyond the Solar system to Settlers from Earth. Now the conscience-stricken robots are faced with an even greater challenge. Either the sacred Three Laws of Robotics are in ruins - or a new, superior Law must be established to bring peace to the galaxy. With Madam Gladia and D.G. Baley - the captain of the Settler traders and a descendant of the robots' friend Elijah Baley - Daneel and Giskard travel to the robot stronghold of Solaria…where they uncover a sinister Spacer plot to destroy Earth itself.

Nossa, esse definitivamente foi o melhor livro da Saga dos Robôs! \nFoi muito interessante acompanhar o começo da expansão em massa dos humanos pela galáxia, porque, aparentemente, 50 mundos não eram suficientes para os humanos...\nE eu concordo que o ser humano não deveria viver muito mais do que 100 anos, provavelmente ia acontecer exatamente o que aconteceu com os Siderais.\nA Gladia vai acabar pegando todos os Baleys nesse ritmo.\nFiquei muito triste pelo Giskard, ele merecia mais.\nAgora sim vou começar a Saga da Fundação, vou descobrir o que deu errado para chegarmos à guerra contra os robôs, como surgiu o Império e, depois como tudo isso levou à criação da Fundação.
