Isaac Asimov's Utopia by Roger MacBride Allen Pdf

In a universe protected by the Three Laws of Robotics, humans are safe. The Third Law states, A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. The world of Inferno is dying. A world where Spacers work with Settlers, where standard Three-Law robots exist alongside the controversial New-Law robots. A world that will be uninhabitable in a few decades. Their only hope comes from a plan some call insane, and some call visionary: drop a comet on the planet. The impact could create new rivers that would save the planet but it could also destroy Inferno completely! Now the Spacers of Inferno must take a risk. A risk that their robots, pledged to protect humans from any harm, real or imagined, may not let them take...

To Open the Sky by Robert Silverberg Pdf

This sprawling, episodic novel by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author is a “tour de force sci-fi outing . . . a wonderful read” (Fantasy Literature). 2077. With Earth reeling from centuries of unregulated population growth and environmental decimation, a new religion has taken root. The Vorsters worship science and the material world over all else, searching for the promise of immortality through new technology and the promise of heaven among the physical stars. But on Venus, a renegade sect has found its home. The Harmonists find the answers to life’s eternal questions in their own spirituality and in their own bodies, which have undergone genetic changes on Venus, giving them paranormal abilities. With humanity’s future at stake, religion becomes a political business, and both groups will have to face their motivations and manipulations when a shocking discovery threatens the balance of power in the universe. “The absorbing story of an overpopulated and economically depressed world clinging to the outcome of a religious schism for its salvation.” —sff180
