"Banco" continues the adventures of Henri Charriere – nicknamed Papillon – in Venezuela, where he has finally won his freedom after thirteen years of escape and imprisonment.

Despite his resolve to become an honest man, Charriere is soon involved in hair-raiding exploits with goldminers, gamblers, bank-robbers and revolutionaries – robbing and being robbed, his lust for life as strong as ever.

He also runs night clubs in Caracas until an earthquake ruins him in 1967 – when he decides to write the book that brings his international fame.

Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft-to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong…and what became of Commander Dave Bowman. Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter. Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman-the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith-streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own.

Winner of the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for best science fiction novelette of 1976r.

"The Bicentennial Man" is a novelette in the Robot series by American writer Isaac Asimov.According to the foreword in Robot Visions, Asimov was approached to write a story, along with a number of other authors who would do the same, for a science fiction collection to be published in honor of the United States Bicentennial. However, the arrangement fell through, leaving Asimov's the only story actually completed for the project.

In terms of setting, this novelette spans a time period of 200 years. Chapter 13 of the novelette states that "Susan Calvin, the patron saint of all roboticists" had been dead for "nearly two centuries." According to I, Robot, Susan Calvin was born in the year 1982 and died at the age of 82, either in 2064 or 2065.

Na dole okładki: Fabulous 16-Page Photo Selection.

Quick Review: Arthur C. Clarke explores the process of adapting one of his novels to film in "The Odyssey File". Rather than feature early treatments, script rewrites, and short stories/sequences, Clark presents this process as a dialogue between himself and director Peter Hyams. The most unique aspect was that conflicting schedules and geography required the two to use email in the early 1980s.

At last, the costly and bitter war between the two Foundations had come to an end. The scientists of the First Foundation had proved victorious; and now they return to Hari Seldon's long-established plan to build a new Empire on the ruins of the old. But rumors persist that the Second Foundation is not destroyed after all-and that its still-defiant survivors are preparing their revenge. Now two exiled citizens of the Foundation-a renegade Councilman and a doddering historian-set out in search of the mythical planet Earth. . .and proof that the Second Foundation still exists.
