• Ethics and the Future of Home Robotics

  
  Botropolis — Authority: 501
  The idea of machines revolting against their creators is the stuff of great science fiction: Skynet, HAL, and AI are a few terms that should be familiar and unsettling. Here at Botropolis the robot apocalypse is always at the back of our minds, but now scholars and manufacturers are also beginning to take the ...

• Book recommendation: Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov

  
  thinkMoult — Authority: 117
  Being of the current generation, I wasn’t around in the 1950s when Isaac Asimov created the Foundation Trilogy – namely three books: Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation .

  Cormac Writes — Authority: 119
  "A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard).

  Botropolis — Authority: 501
  It’s that time of year again. Let’s hope that this isn’t the year that robots decide to roast some human chestnuts on an open fire and use our intestines as yule logs to light a fire in their cold incinerator hearts.

• Isaac Asimov – The Relativity of Wrong

  
  Sean's Mental Walkabout — Authority: 119
  The young specialist in English Lit, having quoted me, went on to lecture me severely on the fact that in every century people have thought they understood the universe at last, and in every century they were proved to be wrong. It follows that the one thing we can say about our modern “knowledge” is that it is ...

• In The Mirror Lies The Smoking Gun

  
  O'Ceallaigh & The Quill — Authority: 126
  Regular readers of this blog know that I have a habit of looking at issues that We the People blame on Them (you know who “They” are) and suggesting that “They” are the ones that you – and I – shave with every morning. That’s probably how come there are so few of you regular readers. And there ...

• THE FALL OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  Isaac Asimov wrote his Foundation stories to show that every Empire, even the most powerful one, has to fall eventually.

• The Box: A “Gift” You Should Leave Unopened

  
  Poptimal.com — Authority: 486
  Wow.  I’m sorry to say that I was very disappointed with The Box .  Why?  Because there was so much potential.  So many movies have the psychological, suspenseful underpinnings that would make for an excellent film, but something goes awry in the execution.  The Box intrigued me not only with its premise, ...

• Without Foundation

  
  File 770 — Authority: 136
  Dear Roland Emmerich: I admit I was a tad snarky in my post about your next project . I sounded as if your promise not to ruin Isaac Asimov’s Foundation was insincere. Sillier yet, I made it sound like a good idea for fans to try and hold you to it. When I was telling Willard Stone about this news item at ...
