Among Asimov's most famous contributions to SF are the Three Laws of Robotics, ethics built into every robot to ensure it never threatens humankind. In 1990, Asimov discussed the idea of a robot subject to new, revised Laws, with Roger MacBride Allen, the acclaimed author of The Ring of Charon. Asimov named this robot 'Caliban'.
Allen brilliantly captures Asimov's concept as he explores the possibilities of Caliban and the New Three Laws. Alternately labelled a killer, an aberration, a martyr, a pioneer, the robot is a fugitive in a turbulent far-future world, hunted by forces that wish him destroyed. But the impact of this single robot and his poignant struggle for survival will echo across space empires and down millennia.
Isaac Asimou's Caliban is page-turning adventure that, for pure excitement and quality, stands alongside the master's original robot tales. A stirring look at - and beyond - the Laws of Robotics, Isaac Asimo's Caliban is also an invitation to Asimov's millions of fans to take part in the master's final vision.
