为什么值得读
- 深刻探讨机器人第零法则及其潜在危机
- 将机器人系列与基地世界观完美串联
- 宏大的太空封顶城市与星际文明构想
作为 Robot series 的第五部小说,本书是 Asimov 科幻宇宙中一座轰动性的里程碑,也是畅销书 The Robots of Dawn 扣人心弦的续篇。在 Robots and Empire 中,我们目睹了整个宇宙的未来陷入危机。尽管阴险的 Spacers 势力已被削弱,但 Kelden Amadiro 博士既未忘记、也未原谅自己在地球人敬仰的英雄 Elijah Baley 手中所遭受的屈辱惨败。Amadiro 渴望复仇,并且比以往任何时候都更坚决要彻底毁灭地球。

不是《我,机器人》(I, Robot)那几本,而是有时被称为“机器人”(Robot)系列的四部曲(我知道这很容易搞混)。即《钢穴》(The Caves of Steel)、《裸阳》(The Naked Sun)、《曙光中的机器人》(Robots of Dawn)和《机器人与帝国》(Robots and Empire)。毫无疑问,这些是我最喜欢的阿西莫夫作品 :) 地球已经演化到了人口都居住在“城市”(Cities,大写很重要!)里的地步——巨大无比、占地数百平方英里且完全……
It's not the "I, Robot" books, it's the quadrilogy sometimes called the "Robot" series (confusing, I know). "The Caves of Steel", "The Naked Sun", "Robots of Dawn", "Robots and Empire". These are without a doubt my favourite of Asimov's books :) Earth has evolved to a point where the population lives in Cities (capitalisation is important!) -- massive, hundreds of square miles completely…
> 邮件确认她购买了艾萨克·阿西莫夫的科幻经典《机器人与帝国》(Robots and Empire) 首先,蚂蚁的品味真不错,也许她真应该读读看。我记得 Nook 以前有幽灵触控(ghost touch)的问题(通常是因为微量受潮),Kindle 也会这样……
> The email confirmed she had purchased science-fiction classic ‘Robots and Empire’ by Isaac Asimov First of all, that's a great choice by the ants, maybe she should read it anyway. I recall Nooks had issue with ghost touches (often due to minimal moist), are the kindles similarly…
阿西莫夫的机器人第零定律:机器人不得伤害人类整体,或因不作为而使人类整体受到伤害。《机器人与帝国》(Robots and Empire)对第零定律的潜在危险做了很精彩的探讨。在我看来,如果它真被实现,必然会将人类的能动性转移给机器,而这正是我们应该极力避免、而不是去加速的事情。
Asimov's Zeroth Law of robotics: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. "Robots and Empire" is a nice discussion of the perils of LawZero. IMHO if successful it necessarily transfers human agency to bots, which we should be strenuously working to avoid, not accelerate.
基地系列太震撼了。不过我建议在看它之前先读读“机器人”系列,因为它们之间是串联在一起的,尤其是《机器人与帝国》(Robots and Empire);整套书读起来简直是一种享受。
The Foundation series is mind blowing. I recommend reading the "Robot" series before it though as they are interlinked, particularly "Robots and Empire"; the whole thing's a joy.
……它们无愧为“三部曲”的续作。机器人系列小说也是极佳的读物,并且以一种让人大呼过瘾的方式与后期的基地系列串联起来:- 《钢穴》(The Caves of Steel)- 《裸阳》(The Naked Sun)- 《曙光中的机器人》(The Robots of Dawn)- 《机器人与帝国》(Robots and Empire)
…they're worthy sequels to the "trilogy". The Robot novels are also a top read and tie in with the later Foundation books in a satisfying way: - The Caves of Steel - The Naked Sun - The Robots of Dawn - Robots and Empire
……《钢穴》(The Caves of Steel)是他 50 年代写得最好的书,比《裸阳》(The Naked Sun)和《第二基地》(Second Foundation)稍好一些,或者说至少节奏更好。但在我看来,他最棒的作品要么是《基地边缘》(Foundation's Edge),要么就是《机器人与帝国》(Robots and Empire)。
…the "Cave of steel" was the best written of his books from the 50s, a bit better than "Naked Sun" and "Second Foundation", or at least better paced. But his best books are either "Foundation's edge" or "Robots and Empire", at least to me.
