La fine dell'eternità

I've always felt that Isaac Asimov writes brilliant science fiction with boring characters. I love a good time travel story, mostly to see what this author's take on the usual time travel paradoxes will be. Anyone who writes about agents changing history has to explain how they deal with things like Leggi tutto

ΤΕΛΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΙΩΝΙΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΑΡΧΗ ΤΟΥ ΑΠΕΙΡΟΥ. Μυθιστορηματική γαλαξιακή παραδοξολογία του "χρόνου" που σε συγκλονίζει. Η επιτομή της επιστημονικής εξωφρενικής έμπνευσης, η αιωνιότητα με τις απαραίτητες αλλαγές πραγματικότητας, οι "Αιώνιοι",που πράττουν με εγωιστική τεχνητή νοημοσύνη και αλλάζουν την ιστορία Leggi tutto

I just had to do a little retro SF catch-up, grabbing those old classics by big-name SF authors that I haven't yet had the pleasure to read, and this one kept cropping up as one of the best of the best by Asimov. You know, OTHER than Foundation and the Robot novels. Of which, a few are sub-par. We'l Leggi tutto

С огромно удоволствие си препрочетох една от най-великите книги на Айзък Азимов! Отново съм възхитен от гениалната „Краят на вечността“, чрез която той умело описва проблемите, до които биха могли да доведат откриването на начин за пътуване във времето и съответно постоянното извършване на промени в Leggi tutto

Me he propuesto este año empezar, timidamente, con lecturas de ciencia ficción y pensé ¿por qué no empezar con uno de los grandes? Así que elegí a Asimov y su fin de la eternidad Al principio pensaba que me iba a perder entre tanta explicación y palabra técnica pero enseguida me enganchó la historia, Leggi tutto

Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature : Re-reading a favorite book from your teenage years is always a risky endeavor. I’ve been dismayed by how often my youthful memories are tarnished by a re-read, and I end up wondering if my taste as a young adult was all in my mouth. But I couldn’t resi Leggi tutto

If you haven't read Asimov's SF classic, it's one of those time-travel stories where you can change the past. The people with the time machines are a shadowy, infinitely powerful organisation called the Eternals. They flit around in time, changing things "for the good of humanity". Except that, as I Leggi tutto

Nutshell: antisocial nerd, responsible for historical amendments to spacetime continuum, dicks it up for everyone in order to lose virginity. Eternity is an interdimensional NGO, set up in the 27th century (32), initially to carry on intertemporal trade (43), which trade was promoted as its primary p Leggi tutto

I loved Isaac Asimov as a kid. Devoured the Foundation and Robot novels—both the snappy 50s originals and the sprawling 80s additions. (I knew there was an Empire series, too, but it wasn’t at Barnes and Noble and it wasn’t in the library. I guess I wasn’t savvy enough as a 12 year old to track it d Leggi tutto
