AVERY KAPLAN: A fortuitous journey to a used bookstore by Rebecca Oliver Kaplan yielded The Robot Novels, a guide membership version of the primary two Detective Elijah Baley novels by Isaac Asimov. While I haven’t beforehand heard of the collection, Baley is a personality who sounds proper up my alley. According to the mud jacket – which is “by Carl T. Herrman” and options an unimaginable Fifties period rendition of a robotic along with the copy in regards to the novels – the tales happen in a future by which “Mankind has long been split into two hostile camps.” Earlier this 12 months, I learn and deeply loved Asimov’s The Currents of Space, one other sci-fi meditation on class and human division.
