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 górze okładki: An exclusive look at the Making of 2010 this year's blockbuster motion picture- the unique computer correspondence between the men who made it happen.

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.

Na dole okładki: Mighty International Bestseller Now in Paperback.

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.
