Amongst the classics of science fiction there are a number of immortal humanoids; people who have become legendary for their character and their contribution to future worlds. THE IMMORTALS looks at them with a biographical and visual eye.
Susan Calvin from Isaac Asimov's I ROBOT can be seen in her laboratory building Robby the robot, at home on Thanksgiving Day, and as an old woman with the mature robot beside her. We can see THE ILLUSTRATED MAN, Beowulf Schaeffer, DiGris from Harry Harrison's STAINLESS STEEL RAT and characters from THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE, ALMURIC, GLORY ROAD and THE SIRENS OF TITAN. THE IMMORTALS shows these people in their favourite scenes but also in circumstances that might have occurred outside the novel. Masses of colour and style, THE IMMORTALS does for the heroes of SF what Alien Landscapes did for the places.
